Anyone who saw the reveal of Kratos for the PS3 version of Mortal Kombat knew that he was a good fit for the fighting game. As it turns out, both SCEA and NetherRealm Studios thought it was a good idea to get the God of War star in Mortal Kombat.
“In our discussions with Sony we all wanted a character that was unique to the PS3, and Kratos was at the top of everyone’s list,” said Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon. “His look and fight style are very compatible to the MK universe. Everyone is really excited about this opportunity, and it’s been great working with the God of War team in making this happen.”
“With any great IP, there are guidelines that must be followed, added Boon. We’re working really closely with the God of War team to ensure that Kratos looks and feels the way gamers expect him to. We have nothing but respect for the God of War development team, and our goal is to stay true to their creation.
