Development
Armageddon contains every single fighter from the six main fighting game installments of the franchise and their upgrades, not counting the adventure games like Special Forces and Shaolin Monks. Khameleon, a secret character from the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy (not to be confused with the male Chameleon) was absent from the PlayStation 2 and Xbox version of Armageddon. Due to fan demand, she was added to the character roster of the Wii version of the game.
The Krypt in Armageddon features an unused concept video for Ermac's bio, which caused rumors to circulate that bios had been created for the game but weren't included due to time constraints. However, Midway, through fansite Mortal Kombat Online, confirmed that no bios had been created. A month later, in a chat event held by Mortal Kombat Online, Ed Boon confirmed that bios would be made available on the Armageddon website. Kenshi's bio was the first to be released, on December 21, 2006, and other bios have been made available since then. As of October 15, a moderator on the Midway forums confirmed that the remaining Armageddon bios were canceled so the MK Team can move further along in the development of Mortal Kombat 8 which would eventually become Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
