"As far as the way the fighting game portion plays (yes, now there are different portions of the game more on that later), it seems like a major extension of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Midway has decided on sticking with the same 3 fight styles system, yet they will be expanding on it. There will be 24 total characters 14 of which will be initially selectable. There will be 8 new characters, 6 characters will be returning from Deadly Alliance, and there will be 10 classic Mortal Kombat characters from earlier installments like Baraka, Kabal, Nightwolf, and Sindel who will be making their 3D debut." "Obviously, one of the staples in the Mortal Kombat franchise is Fatalities, and Deception will be chock full of them. Each character will have 2 fatalities, and stages will also have stage fatalities." "Some levels will also feature deathtraps (different than stage fatalities), which will be indicated by a red marker." 20/3/04 - Murdoink Webmaster of MK Warehouse sent in another MK:Deception update!
