Mortal Kombat: Fire & Ice is the cancelled sequel to Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, that was in development from late 2005 till early 2006 by Paradox (later renamed Midway Studios Los Angeles). A prototype was created for the Xbox 360, to test their new “next generation” graphic engine, but soon the project had to be canned, as revealed by Ed Boon to Game Informer:
“When they finished [Shaolin Monks], the guys at Paradox were gonna do another one called Fire & Ice. It was gonna be a co-operative Scorpion and Sub-Zero game,” Boon said. “They actually started the early stages of that game, but they couldn’t do it in time and under budget, so the project was canceled and kind of went away.”
Also, in august 2009 The Realm of Mortal Kombat fansite was able to get in contact with a former Paradox developer, that shared some more info and a level design concept for Shaolin Monks 2:
It was canceled within a few weeks of my arriving at Midway. I don’t have anything else to show you unfortunately. Half the studio was laid off, and new management was brought in. Then we started work on TNA Wrestling.
A prototype level was built, but that was it. A few design docs were worked on, and a few characters were made in 3D – Scorpion and Subzero. The game was codenamed Fire & Ice – as those two characters were to be the main characters. I was really looking forward to doing level design and construction for it. It was a shame it was canceled.
In 2008 Midway Studios Los Angeles was relocated and merged with Midway’s San Diego office and their last game was TNA iMPACT!

The first game was great you faggot
I loved the mortal kombat shoalin monks franchise they should bring back shoalin monks it would be amazing on xbox 360 bring it back
i really looking forword for this game i have been waiting for this game for years….
This is some BS! How do you not make a part 2? Just sell that game title to capcom!
Jack Mehoff is a faggot plus he also has problem with his mouth. He is a jack ass.
If they make another MK Shoalin Monks with all the characters and coop stuff it could make so much money
i dont know why arent they launching MK:Shaolin Monks in HD again on Xbox360 & ps3 with some more detailing and character addition(both CO-OP & One on One fight)really waiting for that game man……
Ofcourse Shaolin Monks 2 concept wont be bad at all but i hope Some MK fans would work on this concept again and improve it to the fullest make its graphics and gameplay amazing than any game………i am working on it too…………………….
And then in marvel vs capcom 4 you can play as liu kang and kung lao
Shaolin Monks was a great game. It’s a shame 2 was never released.
Now that Mortal Kombat X has kind of revitalised the MK franchise, it is the prefect time to bring back Shaolin Monks 2. Its Couch Co-op was so much fun.
You could just say its “co-op” was fun, moron. It didn’t have any other form of co-op than local, or “couch” as you children call it.
Respect is so important today…
