The latest news from Midway is that 1.8 million copies of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe have been shipped worldwide.

In fact, it has sold so well that Midway have already started working on the next version. Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat co-founder and creative director of Midway, had this to say: “We’re already hard at work on our next version of Mortal Kombat, and look forward to being able to reveal more details in the future.”

“Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was the result of countless hours of hard work by many people, and seeing the game surpass the million-seller plateau makes it worth all the effort,” he continued.

Midway also revealed that MK vs DC Universe has shattered a number of the publisher’s internal records. The game was the most pre-ordered MK title in the company’s history and over 3.6 million MK vs DC matches have been played online worldwide for the PS3.
