Gameplay

The game compiles multiple versions of the first four Mortal Kombat games, including their arcade, home console, and portable versions, as well as select spinoffs and handheld entries. [2] Notably, 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. [3] All games in the collection will support online multiplayer with rollback netcode. [4] A "Fatality Trainer" mode will allow players to practice performing the game's fatality moves. [5] Optional menu toggles will allow players to unlock each game's hidden content, as well as access developer menus and other hidden options. [4] The game will feature 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 . [6] [7] [8] Character profiles and timelines that summarize the series' narrative are also included. [4] Other features include a music player, optional CRT filters, and the ability to rewind gameplay. [5]
