Proto:Mortal Kombat: Deception
This page details one or more prototype versions of Mortal Kombat: Deception.
 | To do: There is leftover stage data from the removed Acid Bath arena inside of MKDA.PAK. Check to see if it is accessible in-game somehow. |
A PS2 review build from August 29, 2004 was released as part of Hidden Palace's Project Deluge. It has a few differences despite being compiled only ten days before final.
This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.
