Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Announced, Contains Many Retro Hits

Warner Bros. Interactive has, after numerous attempts in different methods, unveiled a retro Mortal Kombat remake compilation during PlayStation’s June State of Play event. Named Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, this package contains multiple iterations of the initial games in the series.

The preview unveiled an array of features in the package, such as numerous video games, rollback netcode, extensive behind-the-scenes material, and design papers – all hallmarks of Digital Eclipse. Notably, Mortal Kombat is known for its numerous iterations of various titles, and this compilation encompasses many of them, featuring:

  • 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 a fervent admirer, I’m eagerly waiting for the exact date when the enigmatic title of the upcoming project by Digital Eclipse will be unveiled. Known for their exceptional “interactive documentary” games like “The Making of Karateka”, “Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration”, and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection”, they are now preparing to release the “Legacy Kollection”. This exciting venture is slated for launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC sometime in 2025. However, the price remains undisclosed as of now.

This long-awaited remake has been in development for quite some time, as prior attempts to modernize these classic arcade games have often encountered insurmountable issues before they were even publicly announced. Examples include the Mortal Kombat: HD Arcade Kollection, which appeared on digital marketplaces in 2010, and the remake by developer Eyeballistic, which series co-creator Ed Boon supposedly admired. There was also a remaster led by Blind Squirrel Games. The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection released in 2011, but received heavy criticism and was eventually removed from sale. It is believed that the initial 2010 collection had to be significantly redesigned due to these problems. Given that this collection comes from Digital Eclipse, it seems unlikely to have any connection with those previous unsuccessful projects.
