Boon Reveals Unused MK9 Cover Art

[STORMS]

In the event that today was Mortal Kombat 9's "One Year Anniversary" April 19th, Ed Boon tweeted two cover arts that did not make the cut for the game's final version. I suppose you could say that one was "too much" and the other was "not enough" while comparing them to the art version that we see today. Regardless, these two covers make us think back to all of the months speculating about Mortal Kombat 9 and just how much MK1,2 & 3 we would be seeing.

that cover on the Xbox box is DOOOOPE

 

[FrostyBarrel]

Xbox one would have been great.

 

[Garasky]

I am glad those weren't used. Where is the creativity ...

 

[cedenike]

i'd love the ps3 one if the 4 background characters were gone, wicked menacing

 

[Derptile]

Is that noob on the ps3 cover?

 

[SwiftTomHanks]

I'd make a few changes to the ps3 one and go with that. Take out those background characters. Put the font and logo on the bottom. Enlarge Raiden, move him up.

 

[LionHeart V1]

I actually like both, but im glad with the one we got. You can't ever beat scorpion vs subzero being on the cover.

Is that noob on the ps3 cover?

it's Raiden. I love it

 

[Derptile]

it's Raiden. I love it

THAT'S A HAT?

LOL

 

[Espio]

I will take the PS3 one, I want a custom background, I might make my own, I just need to figure some things out.

Thats the kind of simplicity that is great fro mortal kombat on the xbox cover.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

THE ONE FOR XBOX IS AWESOME. Plane and simple plus its beautiful.

Wam, bam.

 

[Squeaker101]

I think both of them would've worked. The one we all have is alright, but having either one would be sweet! The X-box one has originality, while the PS3 one has creativity. I guess the rivalry between Sub and Scorpion its just so known they couldn't not ignore it. (if that makes sense)

 

[Killphil]

Reversible covers would be nice for this kind of thing. Although since the images are out now I can just make my own. BAM.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

ps3 is neat

 

[RoGE]

that cover on the Xbox box is DOOOOPE

Agreed

Also, it gives me a sense of nostalgia

 

[Hitoshura]

I hate both of them but thats just me

 

[Mt. Mutombo]

Oh that's nice...one year anniversary, here some have some pictures.

 

[MagicMan357]

The xbox one for the regular edition and RAiden for special.

they are both sick though

 

[piemaster]

ps3 one would of been the best, kitana standing 2...nuff said

 

[REDRUM]

xbox one is simple but its the mark of the beast we all love..

 

[MKF30]

The Xbox cover is ok, kind of reminds me of MKA cover just not as zoomed in as much. The PS cover I actually think is neat, Raiden looks really cool there
