After many delays, Warner Bros. Interactive has decided to cancel the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Mortal Kombat X. The upsetting announcement was made on the official Mortal Kombat forums. Those who pre-ordered Mortal Kombat X for the consoles will receive a full refund from their retailers.
The company said:
“After months of development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has come to the regrettable conclusion that we cannot release Mortal Kombat X for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Please know our teams worked diligently to meet the quality standards set by the current-gen versions of the game. We were not able to get the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions to the quality expected of a Mortal Kombat game and are very sorry for not being able to deliver the products as originally planned.”
