Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a 2025 compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari. It is a compilation of several earlier entries in the Mortal Kombat series, originally released by Midway between 1992 and 2003. The compilation was released digitally on October 30, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, with a physical release scheduled for December 12.
The game compiles multiple versions of the first four Mortal Kombat arcade fighting games, including many of their home console and portable versions, as well as select spinoffs and handheld entries. [4] [5] The compilation includes the first public release of the "WaveNet" version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 , which was only briefly available during limited arcade location tests in 1997 and was considered lost media. [6] All games in the collection support online multiplayer with rollback netcode. [7] A "Fatality Trainer" mode allows players to practice performing the game's fatality moves. [8] Optional menu toggles allow players to unlock each game's hidden content, as well as access developer menus and other hidden options. [7] The game features substantial behind-the-scenes material, including interviews with original development team members such as Ed Boon, John Tobias, John Vogel and Dan Forden, using the same "interactive timeline" format seen in other Digital Eclipse compilations such as Atari 50 . [9] [10] [11] Character profiles and timelines that summarize the series' narrative are also included. [7] Other features include a music player, optional CRT filters, and the ability to rewind gameplay. [8]
