Digital Eclipse Announces Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection - Trailer And All Details

[Gambid]

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.

This was truly unexpected. Can't believe that this collection is coming and by Digital Eclipse of all people. I bought the TMNT Cowabunga Collection when it came out and that collection is absolutely incredible (FYI, I also bought the MVC Fighting Collection, and that collection wasn't as good the TMNT Cowabunga Collection). So I know that this MK Legacy Collection is in great hands.

Also glad to see that MK Tournament Edition is there. That's one of the very few MK games that I didn't get to play, and it's an iteration of MK Deadly Alliance, which of course I did play on PS2. This alone already makes the collection even better for me.

That being said, I don't think we are gonna get anything the actual MKDA from PS2/Xbox, or any other home console MK game post from the 3D era. I think we will get MKSF (never played it either), MK Gold (which I also never got to play, only MK4), MKMSZ, MK Trilogy, and maybe (and that's a big maybe) MK Unchained, but not beyond that.

Regardless, this collection is already amazing, can't wait for it.

I wouldn't include it, If I were the developer and would actually create a second collection for the 3D era titles down the road.
