Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios have announced that the newest Mortal Kombat title, called simply Mortal Kombat, has gone gold and will launch on April 19 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

For anyone living in a cave since, roughly, 1990, the Mortal Kombat franchise is arguably the granddaddy of mature-rated videogames; and this newest entry, developed by NetherRealm Studios and MK co-creator Ed Boon, marks a triumphant return for the series complete with its patented mature presentation and a reinvention of its 2D fighting mechanic, and a new graphics engine will raise Mortal Kombat's fatalities to gory heights never before seen.  This newest entry will also introduce Stereoscopic 3D exclusively for the PS3.
