Digital Eclipse has officially unveiled Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, a curated bundle of classic fighting games launching in 2025 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
The announcement came during the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play, accompanied by a reveal trailer and detailed blog post confirming new technical features and an extensive historical archive.
MK Legacy Kollection revives the core of Mortal Kombat’s earliest era, collecting arcade, console, and handheld versions of games spanning 1992 through 2003. Each title supports online multiplayer with rollback netcode, ensuring competitive play across regions and platforms.
Additionally, players won’t need to remember classic cheats like the Sega Genesis/Megadrive “Goro and ShangTsung Code” – it’s already pre-activated.

This announcement comes on the back of the end of DLC support for Mortal Kombat 1, which is the latest entry in the long-running fighting series.
What sets the upcoming MK Legacy Kollection apart isn’t just the playable library, it’s the layered presentation of Mortal Kombat’s evolution. Using its interactive documentary format, Digital Eclipse explores how the series shifted the cultural landscape of video games in the early ’90s.
The collection features rare concept art, design documents, behind-the-scenes footage, and exclusive interviews with key creators including Ed Boon, John Tobias, John Vogel, and Dan Forden.
In collaboration with documentary studio Area 5, known for Grounded II: The Making of The Last of Us Part II, the team has reconstructed a digital timeline museum.
Fans can explore this living archive through videos, playable demos, and galleries, illuminating how the digitised actors, hidden characters, and brutal finishers made Mortal Kombat a touchstone for arcade-era gamers.
MK Legacy Kollection also promises to rekindle the mystery of early cheat codes and secrets, Reptile sightings, Kombat Kodes, and even Animalities – once discovered through official magazine scans and playground whispers, now fully documented and playable.
Back then, there was no Internet to browse, players had to ring up expensive phone lines, get cheats from friends or buy walkthrough guides from stores like GAME.
The release window is set for fall 2025, with more details expected as the year progresses.
