Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a fighting game that takes place after the events of the previous Mortal Kombat games. The story follows the final battle between good and evil, with Earthrealm being destroyed by Outworld. The player takes control of various characters from different realms, including fighters from both sides of the conflict.
The gameplay in Mortal Kombat Armageddon is a variation on the traditional one-on-one fighting style found in other games in the series. However, for the first time in a 3D fighting game, players can fight in large groups, allowing for more complex strategies and team-based gameplay. Players can also interact with each other's X-Ray moves, which were introduced in The Simpsons Cartoon episode that inspired the X Ray system of Mortal Kombat.
Mortal Kombat Armageddon was released on October 11, 2006, exclusively for the Xbox console.
