It’s dark days indeed… according to court documents posted on NetDockets, Midway is seeking an “execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway’s Mortal Kombat franchise assets”

Around $3,755,000 in bonuses have been set aside by the flagging company for those who manage to offload the company’s rights. Mortal Kombat is undoubtedly their biggest franchise, and has been with the company since its inception.

It’ll be a strange day for the industry when Mortal Kombat will be sitting in the hands of a developer that isn’t Midway.
