NetherRealm Studios and publisher Warner Bros Interactive have confirmed that the new Mortal Kombat is on track for an April 2011 release. The title will be offered in three editions for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The three editions will be standard, Kollector’s, and Tournament. Both the Kollector’s and Tournament editions of the title will offer a number of perks over the standard edition of the game. The Kollector’s edition will come with figures of both Sub-Zero and Scorpion, an art book, and additional downloadable content that will add “Klassic” costume skins as well as avatar costumes and props.

The Tournament edition will be limited to just 20,000 copies and when they are gone, they are gone. The big attraction is a custom designed portable fight stick, plus all of the content from the Kollector’s edition and a few more things that have yet to be announced.

The PlayStation 3 version of the game will offer stereoscopic 3D support and Kratos from God of War that will be exclusive to the PS3 version. Currently, there is no word yet if any such exclusive will be offered for Xbox 360 owners, but it appears to be unlikely at this point. Sources do confirm that a number of retailers will be offering different pre-order exclusives.

While all of the extras and offerings for the Kollector’s and Tournament editions have yet to be decided, it is a good bet that NetherRealm will throw a few more things in for good measure before it is all said and done. The early buzz on the title itself seems to be strong, as the game has gone back to its roots and focused on what made the franchise great. Warner has a lot riding on this release and is focused on getting it right, which it will hopefully do with this release and which they hope will re-energize the franchise with players.
