Going gold is a milestone in the game industry. It means that all the hard work that developers invested into a title has finally come to fruitation, and the manufacturers can start rolling out the games by the cart-full. So if the headline of the news story didn’t give it away, can you guess which game has just gone gold?

"We are proud to release to manufacturing Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, the culmination of two years of effort and a rewarding collaboration with our friends at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Comics," said Ed Boon, executive producer and co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise. "So far the response has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic, and I can't wait to get this into the hands of MK diehards and DC Comics fans alike when the game becomes available on Nov. 16 in North America and Nov. 21 throughout Europe! "

The character roster for the game includes Catwoman (fan-service alert!), Kitana (more fan-service alert!), Raiden, Liu Kang, Batman, Lex Luthor (lame), The Flash, Shao Khan, Darkseid, Superman, Baraka, Green Latern, Scorpian, Sub-Zero, Sonja Blade, Jax, The Joker, Kano, Captain Marvel, Shang Tsung, Deathstroke and Wonder Woman. Dang, that’s a lot of characters...sort of. The game will feature new fighting modes, like the close-kombat mode that zooms in for extra hard-hitting combos, the free-fall mode that lets players battle in the air, and rage mode, which supports extra damage when activated. There’s a lot more to the game, and it would probably suit the curious-minded folks to drop by the Official Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Website to gather up some more details on the game.

Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe will be available for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for the suggested retail price of $59.99. Be sure to stay tuned in with Blend Games for more news and updates on the latest gaming titles, or drop by the Blend Games Forum for discussions on the hottest gaming topics.
