Today, Digital Eclipse announced that not only are Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection pre-orders for a 2025 release, but it’s also getting a physical release on each platform. The Standard and Deluxe Editions for all platforms will ship on December 12.
Plus, they’ve confirmed that Mortal Kombat Trilogy, the only game in the series to include every single 2D Mortal Kombat character in the franchise, will be added to the collection. That brings the total game count up to nine different titles, but 20 total when you include all of the individual versions and variations, with still more to come presumably.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Release
There will be three different versions of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Switch 2. The Standard Edition will be $49.99 on platforms except Switch 2, where it will be $59.99. And anyone that pre-orders, will get a special Day One bonus slip-cover for their case.
Then there’s the Deluxe Edition, which will cost $69.99 for PlayStation 5 and Switch, or $79.99 on Switch 2. This edition includes the Standard Edition release, as well as a Steelbook, mini marquees, magnet, poster, lenticular card, arcade flyers, and arcade cabinet cards.
Finally, the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Kollector’s Edition is designed by Limited Run Games and will include the entire Standard Edition with a Goro controller holder statue, commemorative arcade token, hardcover art and lore book, as well as a pin set—with everything in a special, numbered, collector’s box. This edition costs $149.99 on all platforms and pre-orders are only available until August 31. There’s no timeframe for when this version will ship.
On the bright side, the press release specifically says, “the Nintendo versions will ship with a game card containing the full game data,” instead of being a key card on Switch 2, but on the downside the Switch 2 version seems to cost an extra $10 for both Standard and Deluxe editions.
Personally, I’m extremely excited to have all of these games together in a single release like this. The games I played the most growing up were Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat II on Sega Genesis, as well as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on SNES. I also had a brief stint of obsession with the novelty of Mortal Kombat on Game Gear and Mortal Kombat II on Game Boy, because the portability factor blew my mind as a kid.
I’ve never actually played Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but I’ve often considered picking up a Sega Saturn copy. This is really shaping up to be a great collection and with the sequel to the last Mortal Kombat movie coming up soon, it’s a time for fans.
