With E3 starting up one game on my hit list to find out more of was Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Combing the two worlds into one fighting game and forcing friends against foes, heroes against heroes, evil versus evil; this game is bringing a new twist on an old genre with some familiar faces.

We just got in a fact sheet with some more details about the game as well as a brand new video. With the only confirmed characters as Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Superman and Batman, this new trailer shows off some more of your favourites in action as well as some of the new game modes.

Who made the cut? Have to watch it out to find out.



Of course here is some more info in handy little fact sheet form.

Choose your kombatant!
Kombat forces friends to fight, worlds to collide and unlikely alliances to be forged. Mortal Kombat warriors and DC Universe heroes engage in battle for the first time on the Xbox360 and PlayStation3. In the ultimate Elseworlds story, players can now explore what would happen when Sub-Zero faces off against Batman, and much more.

Signature Attacks.
Each character on the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe roster will feature character-specific moves to take down opponents in their own signature style. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will also feature distinct finishing moves, tapping into the true Mortal Kombat experience

All-New Fighting Mechanics.
For the first time in Mortal Kombat history, players can face off with two all-new fighting mechanics, Freefall Kombat and Klose Kombat. Freefall Kombat allows players to battle in mid-air while falling from one arena into the next. Klose Kombat, a brutal up-close fighting mechanic, gives players the ability to grasp the gritty dark tone through progressive damage that is inflicted on fighters during battle though visible bruises, torn clothing, and more!

New single player mode.
Players choose their storyline experience beginning with either the Mortal Kombat or DC Universe. The unique storyline intertwines both the Mortal Kombat and DC Universes and characters into an exclusive dynamic fighting adventure

The Ultimate Fighting Arenas.
Players will face off in various iconic arenas like Metropolis and Gotham City from the DC Universe side and Hell and Graveyard from the Mortal Kombat side, as well as several never-before-seen combo arenas that blend the two universes together!

Top Writing Talent.
The game's dark, realistic tone is created through the collaborative partnership of top comics writing team Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (Countdown. Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters) along with veteran Mortal Kombat team members.

Take the battle online.
Players will have the ability to choose sides, challenge friends and take the fight online!

While Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe isn't expected to be out til the end of the year on both Xbox 360 and PS3, it is shaping up to be an interesting game. While this idea isn't overly new, it has worked in the past and will be interesting to see how it turns out. There is talk of a playable demo being available at E3 Media & Business Summit, so we will keep our ears out on the reaction from that and let you know.
