The community of the saga is on alert again because Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection continues to drop clues about its contents and schedule. The collection aims to bring together the great classics and some lesser-remembered pieces from the universe, with new releases that have come to light at trade shows and store listings.
Among the highlights, the collection incorporates two highly talked-about spin-offs that marked an era in their own way. Along with this, a release is in the works multi platform with a window already set for its digital release and with physical editions planned for the end of the year, all of this pending final official announcement.
The games confirmed so far
In addition to the essentials of fighting, there are added Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (1997, PlayStation and Nintendo 64) and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces (2000, PS1). The first one focuses on action and platforms with Bi-han in a key mission, while the second is a beat'em up focused on Jax opposite Kano; two risky proposals that generated a lot of conversation in their day and are now being revisited with curiosity.

Online, extras and preservation focus
At the outset, the collection will not have cross game. Even so, Digital Eclipse explains that they are studying its viability for a future update, no promises for now. The team's priority is to offer an experience faithful to the original material, with that "museum" approach that allows us to understand how and why these games were made.
In this line, careful treatment is expected with behind-the-scenes footage, development information, and options that respect the feel of the era, something especially interesting in the two spin-offs incorporated. It's a preservation effort designed so that veterans and newcomers alike can appreciate the legacy without unnecessary filters.
What remains to be discovered
Although the lineup already looks extensive, more could still come new surprisesThe set has been revealing content during events and rosters, so it wouldn't be surprising if there are still cards left to reveal. However, any additions will need to be officially confirmed to avoid rumors.
With a combination of essential classics, additions that invite debate and a digital window located at the end of September, Legacy Kollection is shaping up to be an ambitious review of the history of Mortal Kombat, leaving its physical editions for the end of the year and the door open to online functions if development allows it.
