Sample of Mortal Kombat 9 soundtrack

Finally we were able to hear portion of Mortal Kombat 9 soundtrack from trailer which emerged just a day before. Trailer shows you, my dear friend, a sad story of Scorpion, who was killed by Sub-Zero. Unfortunately, blue ninja also cut to death family and whole ninja clan of Scorpion. What a shame! So, Quan Chi resurrected Scorpion and Mortal Kombat is only chance for Lin Kuei ninja to avenge for this really unpleasant situation in his life.

Dark ethnic soundtrack can be heard in trailer and attentive listener can find fragments of Mortal Kombat 3 Street theme in these sounds. Very true turn, we think. And you?

Game is out next year, supposedly, in March on Xbox 360 and PS3. The composer is good Dan «Toasty» Forden guy.
