August 2nd, 2025, 12pm Update: A quick announcement: the Mortal Kombat Trilogy included in the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection will be the PlayStation 1 edition.
In this new version, the notoriously slow loading times will be significantly improved, a change that we wholeheartedly support.
It’s still unclear if the Nintendo 64 version or any others will be part of the collection. Fingers crossed for a complete set, right?
So, just to update the list of games included so far for accuracy:
- Mortal Kombat – 1992
- Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear
- Mortal Kombat II -1993
- Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X

I’m super excited to share that my favorite game, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, is making a comeback! It’s going to be part of the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, which will release on PS5 and PS4 later this year. Can’t wait to jump back into the action!
Previously unconfirmed, the updated version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 from 1996 was recently disclosed at Evo today.
If you’re unfamiliar, significant updates in Mortal Kombat Trilogy introduced features like the Brutality system and the Aggressor bar. The Aggressor bar increases as characters engage in attacks, and once it’s fully charged, it provides temporary enhancements for movement and damage.
This classic game initially became available on platforms such as PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, PC, and less successful systems like Game.com and R-Zone. It remains uncertain which iterations will be emulated in this case, but we can likely anticipate the PS1 and N64 versions to be included.
