Digital Eclipse, along with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has announced the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is the ultimate historical compilation of Mortal Kombat, featuring classic games from the 90s and early 2000s. These titles range from console releases to arcade and handheld versions of Mortal Kombat. Digital Eclipse is known for its retro gaming and preservation efforts, along with digital restoration of classic video games.
Digital Eclipse will manage both development and publishing of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection with the official license provided to them by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It aims at bringing together a vast library of titles from the franchise’s early years, with original Arcade games, the iconic Super NES and SEGA Genesis home versions, along with releases across Game Boy, Game Gear, Sega 32X, Game Boy Advance, and more platforms. All titles in the collection will be enhanced with player-friendly features, and online support with rollback netcode will be added to some of the arcade and console editions.
Apart from classic games, the collection will also include an interactive documentary that chronicles the series’ groundbreaking history. It will include rare concept art, archival video footage, and exclusive new and vintage interviews with original creators Ed Boon, John Tobias, Dan Forden, and John Voge,l along with dozens more, to share their own versions of the origin story of the franchise. Mike Mika, Studio Head at Digital Eclipse comments:
Mortal Kombat irrevocably altered the cultural landscape of video games. It was audacious, shocking, and unflinching. It marked a seismic shift in interactive entertainment, pulling the industry into a more provocative, mature direction that continues to influence game design and cultural discourse over three decades later. With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, we set out not just to preserve its legacy, but to contextualize it – inviting players to experience its origins, trace its evolution, and appreciate the bold vision that transformed it into a global icon. For us, this project is both tribute and testament.
Apart from the documentary about the making of the games, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will also include the epic conflicts of the Elder Gods, Outworld, Edenia, and Earthrealm throughout the arcade era, with helpful guides to character backstories. Each game in the collection will feature a host of optional quality-of-life features. These will be announced closer to launch. The full lineup of titles coming as part of the collection has not been announced at this time. So far, we know that the following games are coming in it:
