We’ll admit we were more than a little intrigued by yesterday’s news
that Freddy Krueger will be putting in an appearance as a DLC fighter
for Mortal Kombat. Good thing Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon was on hand
to explain it to the PlayStation Blog, because while we do get it in the
general sense that both franchises are more than a little violent,
there’s got to be more there than the fact that Freddy Krueger has
claws, right?
“It’s kind of hard to choose a character who would fit well into the
Mortal Kombat universe, with the blood and violence that’s so associated
with it. Kratos from God of War is a brutal, bloody character, so he
makes sense,” Ed Boon explained.
“A number of names were run by us: Jason, Michael Myers and all those guys. Freddy Kreuger, we felt, was the most instantly recognisable and he fits in with Mortal Kombat with his claws. It just seemed like the best fit.” We think the mystery would have been preferable on this particular occasion, Ed Boon.
