Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection: Everything we know about the compilation

An eventful PlayStation State of Play introduced us to a whole host of upcoming titles, and among those was the new Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, an assembly of some of the classic Mortal Kombat titles in what the developers, Digital Eclipse, claim to be one of the most complete collections ever. 

The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection trailer showcased a lot of interesting information about the upcoming game, but was sure to leave some key details up to the imagination, to allow them to continue drumming up hype around the title in the months to come. 

After having the news of future Mortal Kombat 1 DLC cancelled in May, it was unclear as to whether or not a new Mortal Kombat title would be releasing anytime soon, and while this title isn’t exactly a new Mortal Kombat, it refreshes some absolute fan favourites in a way that will excite fighting game fans everywhere. We’ve covered everything we know about Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection further down the page. 

Confirmed for 2025; exact window and release date: TBA 

Currently, there is no confirmed Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection release date, however, it was clear in the PlayStation State of Play that the title will be coming this year. While we don’t have a definitive answer for when the game will be coming, we do have an inkling of when it may be set to hit digital shelves. 

With the Mortal Kombat 2 film from New Line Cinema coming in October 2025, it makes sense that the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection release window will coincide. This ensures that fans of the movie will consider picking up the game and vice versa, allowing both to tie into the success of one another. 

It’s believed the compilation could cost $40; exact pricing and pre-orders info: TBA 

As of right now, the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection price is yet to be confirmed; however, when searching the game title, you’re met with an Atari product page. While this product page doesn’t have a price on display, the source code for the webpage states a price point of $37. Of course, this doesn’t confirm any price point yet, and even if this is the price that the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection developers are hoping to go with, everything is subject to change before release. 

While Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection pre-orders aren’t available right now, you can Wishlist the game on various platforms, including Steam and the PlayStation Store. This will ensure you’re alerted straight away when pre-orders go live. 

The original trilogy, as well as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and GBA ports are confirmed 

The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection games have been confirmed as per the list below. However, Sony has stated that more are on the way, meaning this will likely not be the complete lineup when the collection releases.

Coming to Xbox platforms, PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC 

Despite being shown off at Sony’s PlayStation State of Play, players on other platforms will be glad to know that it isn’t exclusive to the PS5. The end of the trailer showcased a list of platforms where the title will be available, as outlined below:

For those who are still sporting previous generation consoles, the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection platforms listed do still include those older consoles. 

Right now, we know that the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection will be coming to digital storefronts, but a physical release has yet to be confirmed. We can assume it will be coming, as Digital Eclipse’s previous fighting game compilations, such as 2018’s Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and 2022’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, have done so. 

The Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection trailer shows off a whole lot surrounding the upcoming game, including gameplay footage from the classic titles. The old fan favourite arcade, console, and handheld editions of the game are being remastered and brought back to life with a refresh, including the implementation of rollback netcode, which will allow for online multiplayer. 

There are a ton of games which are shown off as well as some question marks above other icons, which only further confirms that there are many more titles to be included in this collection. Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection features some of the most iconic Mortal Kombat titles ever, including the original title from 1992, which was released in arcades and across a range of consoles. 

This compilation marks the first time having rollback netcode in the classic games 

Due to the title including the netcode rollback feature, which allows for online multiplayer, it’s very likely that there could be a thriving esports scene surrounding the title, especially considering how competitive fighting game players can be. 

Many of these original titles had an extensive competitive scene around them, and while back in the early 90s these weren’t really considered established esports scenes, they were increasingly popular and helped mold what esports has become today. Taking this history into account, it only makes sense that the reimagining of these titles will spark competition in both returning and new players alike. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was considered one of the only viable competitive fighters from the franchise (pre-NetherRealm), so this collection could kickstart MK’s older titles back in the rotation. 

While the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection news has certainly come as a shock to many, Digital Eclipse has been sure to give away a fair amount of detail surrounding its upcoming title. While price and preorder information isn’t live just yet, it can’t be too long before you’re able to purchase this all-new collection of reimagined fan favourites.
