MK Deception Limited Edition

In an announcement out of Chicago this evening, Midway Games has officially announced something that anxious gamers who have been pre-ordering may have already noticed -- that a special edition of Mortal Kombat: Deception is definitely on the way. In fact, there are several of them.

Officially known as Mortal Kombat: Deception Premium Pack, and Mortal Kombat: Deception Kollector's Edition, the special sets will ship on the same day as the regular editions (October 4), only with the benefit of extra features. The Xbox-only versions of the game, known as MK: Deception Kollector's Edition, features four distinctive packaging options that star Baraka, Mileena, Raiden, and Scorpion. The PlayStation 2-only Premium Pack, on the other hand, boasts a specialized cover with the legendary Sub-Zero.

Each limited edition game will retail for $59.95 and will include an arcade-perfect version of the original Mortal Kombat. In addition, there will also be more than 40 minutes of bonus DVD video content which incorporates a "History of Mortal Kombat short film and exclusive biographical videos for all 25 playable characters. As an added bonus, each of the five different MK: Deception limited edition sets will also contain a serialized and embossed metal Kollector's Card created exclusively for that copy of the game.
