Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is more than a nostalgia trip — it’s a monumental achievement in gaming preservation. Digital Eclipse has captured the franchise’s bloody history, polished it for modern audiences, and added enough extras to satisfy newcomers and purists alike.

A Legendary Lineup: Every Era of Kombat Reborn

Fans of classic fighting games are in for a treat — the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection isn’t a mere port; it’s a massive preservation project featuring over 20 unique versions of Mortal Kombat’s early history.

Here’s what’s packed inside:

  • The Arcade Originals: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and Mortal Kombat 4 — all lovingly restored and fully playable.
  • Home Console Classics: Multiple versions of the early titles, including the fan-favorite PlayStation release of Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
  • Hidden Gems & Deep Cuts: Rare and often-forgotten spin-offs like Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces make a return, giving fans a chance to rediscover these cult curiosities.
  • Lost Media Restored: Perhaps the most jaw-dropping inclusion is the first-ever playable emulation of the “WaveNet” version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Once thought lost to time, this online-enabled arcade variant features exclusive character tweaks and gameplay mechanics — a piece of MK history now preserved forever.

Modern Upgrades for a New Generation

Digital Eclipse went beyond nostalgia, blending retro authenticity with modern tech to make these classics shine on today’s systems.

  • Rollback Netcode: Say goodbye to lag — online matches now feel smoother than ever, giving competitive players a reason to revisit the classics.
  • Interactive Documentary: Dive into the making of Mortal Kombat with an in-depth, playable documentary. It features new interviews with Ed Boon, John Tobias, John Vogel, and Dan Forden, along with unseen concept art and archival footage.
  • Player-Friendly Enhancements: Features like a Fatality Trainer, Rewind for single-player, on-screen move lists, and developer menu access make mastering these brutal classics easier (and more fun) than ever before.
  • Cross-Platform Launch: Available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam — no fighter gets left behind.
