UPDATE 03: Ed Boon and WB loved it (tentatively titled Mortal Kombat Returns), and worked with them for a few years before WB decided they rather hire an actual studio (presumably Blind Squirrel Games).

UPDATE 02: More gifs.
UPDATE 01: Some gameplay test video! Currently running on MUGEN.

NOTE: ALL shots are from a WIP project.
I'm excited for this project as I stumbled upon it by sheer curiosity! THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. This is me stumbling upon old WIP work.
This fan project has been under development since 2011. It started as a MUGEN project and it may not be a MUGEN project soon (Unreal Engine 4). A pixel perfect arcade remake of the original MK Trilogy using new 3D models created from all the original Mortal Kombat games and from all the Behind The Scene clips. From the massive scale of the project, it seems that all elements including test your might, various stages, fatalities, animalities, and more are being recreated from the ground up following the original sources as closely as possible, and without being too gimmicky like some HD projects become.
To simply explain the process, they're taking screenshots of the 3D models, and creating sprites from it. From there on, they're recreating the original MK games with these new 3D models and sprites.
It seems that they got organized, formed a company named [REDACTED], and are actually planning to release the game officially? Maybe under WB?
When asked by a member:
Project lead responded:
What do you think. Is it finally happening? Is Ed Boon getting his MK Trilogy HD Remix without all the hurdles they faced from hiring actors and making sure they perfectly match the moves to the original? This is a fairly great HD representation of the game, and something I hope lives beyond MUGEN. Could this become an officially released MK HD?
