The Most Informative Mortal Kombat Source on the Web

Digital Eclipse has just announced Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a collection of classic Mortal Kombat games to be released on current hardware later in 2005. The announcement happened during today's State of Play event from Sony. Have a look at the announce trailer, after which we will dive deeper into the details:
Here is a complete list of the currently announced games and systems.

• Mortal Kombat – 1992: Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear
• Mortal Kombat II -1993: Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X
• Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995: Arcade, SNES, Genesis
• Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995: Arcade, SNES
• Mortal Kombat 4 – 1997: Arcade
• Mortal Kombat Advance – 2001: Game Boy Advance
• Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance – 2002: Game Boy Advance
• Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – 2003: Game Boy Advance
• ???

As you can see this list will probably include additional titles.

What we are mostly excited about is seeing the Arcade version of Mortal Kombat 4 on this list as this game has never received a proper Arcade version release for home systems. In addition the emulation of the ZEUS hardware the game runs on was never properly emulated so fans could never experience the Arcade version home. In additions we also see rare and really expensive games on here (trust me I know) like the 32X version of Mortal Kombat II.
Here are some of the features that this collection will include:

• Online Play
• Rewind
• A full history documentory
• All secrets unlocked

Here are some of the things Digital Eclipse had to say about the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection:

We’ll take you back to the glorious 1990s, the days of arcades and tokens, of hidden Fatalities and secret characters, with the original versions of Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

But we’re not stopping there – many of the home versions of these games from vintage 16-bit consoles and, yes, even handheld systems are also included. And the arcade and console games can all be played online with rollback netcode.

Want to enter in the “blood code” and challenge a friend to throw down in the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat, online? You’ll be able to. (And we’ll even enter in the blood code for you, in case you don’t remember.)

Earlier this year, Digital Eclipse traveled to NetherRealm Studios to interview Mortal Kombat co-creators Ed Boon and John Tobias alongside literally dozens of other developers, actors, industry luminaries, fans, and Mortal Kombat experts.

We are extremely excited about this upcoming release and cannot wait to check it out when it becomes available later in 2025. We will be sure to keep and eye on it and inform you every step of the way when more information becomes available.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will be released for later in 2025 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox and PC (via Steam).

You can learn more from the announcement article on the official PlayStation Blog and from the official page of the kollection.

The official Mortal Kombat Account on X has just announced that DLC characters and story chapters support for Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) has officially ended. This is not going to affect any necessary balance adjustments or bug fixes that the studio still plans to address.

The officially given reason is that while the developers understand the disappointment of the fans, they need to shift focus in order to make their next project as successful as possible. Have a look:
Here is a breakdown of how Netherrealm Studios and WB Games have supported the Mortal Kombat games so far:

• Mortal Kombat X (Released in April 2015): Last DLC update came in March of 2016, 11 months after release in April of 2015 and the last balance patch was in October of 2016 (1.5 years post release).
• Mortal Kombat 11 (Released in April 2019): Last big DLC update was in November of 2020, 1 year and 7 months after release, with one more DLC skin pack update a month later. Last balance patch for the game came in May of 2021 (2 years and 2 months post release). Additionally the game received 2 more updates. One to add XBox/MS PC Store cross play (April of 2022) and another with Store adjustments (December of 2022 - 3 years and 9 months post release).
• Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) (Released in September 2023): Last DLC update with T-1000 from Kombat Pack 2 earlier this year in March (1.5 years post release).

While DLC support is over, players will still have new skin palletes to unlock all the way until Season 16 of Invasions (repeat of Season 8 ), coming in January of next year. Whether every season will be accompanied by a balance/bug fix patch of some sort is still unknown. If so, then we can expect overall game improvements at least until early next year.

With all this said, we wish Netherrealm Studios the best of luck with their next project.

It's a bit late, but better late than never. As we are in the 2nd rotation of Season 4 in Invasions mode for Mortal Kombat 1 (2023), AKA the Season of the Huntress, one of the Mesa-end bosses is Oyabun Kenshi. Like all Mesa-end bosses, Kenshi has at least 3 phases, and before the final one, he sends Sento to fly all over the screen back and forth to hit the player.

However, it turns out that you can avoid Sento entirely. All you have to do is go to the corner and it won't hit you. Of course you need to go to the corner fast enough, otherwise you would get hit.

This can help you against Oyabun Kenshi not only now in Season 4, but whenever you face him other fights in Invasions or Towers of Time, such as the Seasonal Tower. So if whatever you still didn't reach his fight now in Season 4 or you happen to encounter him another time, use this make sure that once you can fight against Kenshi, you will be at full health.

The official Mortal Kombat YouTube page has uploaded a new trailer, this time of the Definitive Edition of Mortal Kombat 1 (2023). As the name suggest, this edition of the game includes all the content that has been released for the game: The base game, Kombat Pack 1, Khaos Reigns alongside Kombat Pack 2, and all other additional stuff added to the game over time. Speaking of, as the trailer shows, the skins based on the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 Movie have also been included, and they are now live in the Premium Shop at the time of this news posting.

Now it is easy to assume that this means that there's no more content coming to MK1 (2023), however, there are more skins for various characters that have been confirmed to be added to the game as all the seasons of Invasions/Towers of Time are now coming in their 2nd rotation, with new skins coming at the beginning of each season. Also, in this trailer itself, in it's end, it says "And more". Now yes, this could mean just the single player modes like Invasions and Towers of Time, or perhaps the skins, or both, but it could also mean that there's still more content coming to the game. As you remember Mortal Kombat 11 got it's Ultimate Edition in November of 2020, and just one month later, it got more skins that were not in the game before, and even after it was announced that there will be no more support for the game, it got more features and changes that were not in the game before over a year later.

Anything is possible when it comes to Mortal Kombat, we will just have to wait and see.

Check out the full trailer below, enjoy:
