Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Release Date Leaked – Classic Kombat Returns in September!
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection may launch Sept 29, 2025, per Xbox app leak. Classic MK games return with extras on all major platforms!
Fans of classic fighting games might want to mark their calendars because it looks like the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection could be dropping sooner than expected, and the source of this info? None other than the Xbox mobile app. Oops, maybe?
Let’s get into down what this leak means, what we know about the Kollection itself, and what old-school Kombatants can expect as we inch closer to launch.
What Is Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection?
Legacy Kollection is a massive love letter to the golden age of Mortal Kombat, pulling together multiple versions of the most iconic titles in the series. This was officially revealed during PlayStation’s State of Play on June 4, 2025, but the real kicker? It’s coming to all major platforms and yes, including the shiny new Nintendo Switch 2.
Developer Digital Eclipse, known for their work on other retro game compilations like TMNT: Cowabunga Collection, is at the helm here. The team has promised arcade and console ports of classics like Mortal Kombat II and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, with more classic entries yet to be revealed.
The Leak Heard ‘Round the Fandom
So, what’s this about the release date? Well, Reddit user ByrdOfMemes over on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit shared a screenshot that got people talking. In the image, taken from the Xbox mobile app, September 29, 2025, was listed as the release date for the Legacy Kollection.
To back things up, Game Rant double-checked and confirmed that the date indeed appeared in the iOS version of the app, as of July 27. Time zones may cause the date to shift slightly so depending on where you are, it could be September 29 or 30.
It’s important to note: Digital Eclipse hasn’t confirmed anything officially. So while this could be a placeholder or a premature update, all signs point to late September being very real.
What Classic Games Are Included?
So far, the confirmed roster for Legacy Kollection includes:
- Mortal Kombat II (Arcade + Console versions)
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Arcade + Console versions)
Digital Eclipse has teased more entries to be announced soon. Many fans are hoping for the original Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, or even lesser-known ports like the Game Boy or Sega Genesis versions which is basically, every way we played MK in the ‘90s.
So far, we know that Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will include multiple versions of fan favorites like Mortal Kombat II and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. But what's the real draw? A stacked roster that blends the icons with the deep cuts:
- Confirmed fan favorites: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang
- Obscure throwbacks: Shinnok, Drahmin, Frost – for those who lived through the PS2-era MK days
It’s a dream collection for long-time fans and a perfect entry point for new players curious about the franchise’s wild, brutal history.
What Makes This Collection Special?
Besides the games themselves, Digital Eclipse is expected to pack this Kollection with museum-style content, developer interviews, and behind-the-scenes material which is a trend they’ve popularized in recent retro collections. Expect concept art, early character designs, and maybe even unused fatalities that never made it into the originals.
With MK’s legacy spanning over three decades, this collection is shaping up to be a nostalgia bomb for OG fans while introducing new players to what made the series legendary. We’ll likely get official confirmation from Digital Eclipse or Warner Bros. Games sometime in August, maybe during a late summer showcase or through a dedicated Mortal Kombat Direct-style announcement.
