It has been announced that the game will feature a story mode, playable from two different perspectives, one from the DC side, and one from the Mortal Kombat side, and depending on which side players choose, they will see the characters from the opposite universe as the invaders of their own. Gameplay-wise, the game promises to add several new things, as well as remove some old mechanics. For instance, it has been stated that there will be no mini-games as there were in the last two instalments of Mortal Kombat (such as the Puzzle Kombat and Chess Kombat games in Mortal Kombat: Deception). Intertwined with the fights there will be new gameplay modes featuring totally different game dynamics to the usual fight. These modes are "Free-fall Kombat", which is activated automatically after throwing the opponent to a lower level in the arena. The players can fight in the air during the fall, which builds up their super bar. When a player's super bar is full, they can activate a strong, character specific special move which slams the opponent on the ground, ultimately ending the Free-fall Kombat sequence; and "Close Kombat", which is a mode you can enter during a fight, causing the characters to lock with each other and the perspective to change to a close-up of the two, to make for an interval of close-quarters fighting (much like in boxing games). A test your might mini game is also worked into the gameplay. While fighting in certain areas, the player can smash the opponent through a series of walls. The player on the offence mashes buttons, alike to the classic test your might mini game, to increase damage, while the player on the defence mashes buttons to decrease damage taken. During fights, characters will show permanent signs of damage, such as bruises, blood marks, and broken or torn clothing pieces. Online play has been announced as a feature, but no further details have been given. On June 24, 2008, in a recent interview with Ed Boon, he confirmed that all of the MK characters and DC villains will have fatalities, while DC heroes will have brutalities.
