8 Popular Fighting Games Set to Hit PS4 and PS5 in New Collection

Guess what? So, there I was, scrolling through updates on the latest gaming stuff—when bam—this wild news drops about the “Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection.” Yep, it’s a real thing! Announced during the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play. And honestly, it’s got me feeling all kinds of excitement. I mean, Mortal Kombat, right?

Okay, so let’s dive into the meat of this. Digital Eclipse, those folks who love bundling up nostalgia into shiny new packages, teamed up with Warner Bros. Interactive to throw together this insane collection. Eight games, can you believe it? From different eras too. Sort of like a messy, colorful history lesson in a box.

Oh, and get this—each game isn’t just a single version. Nah. They’re tossing in the arcade, SNES, Genesis, even Game Boy versions. Mortal Kombat II alone has more editions than my fridge has leftovers. And there’s this interactive documentary thing too, featuring legends like Ed Boon and John Tobias. Those guys? They’re basically the wizards behind the curtain.

Where was I? Right—the games included. Jumbled list here for ya:

– Mortal Kombat – 1992 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear)
– Mortal Kombat II – 1993 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, 32X)
– Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis)
– Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (Arcade, SNES)
– Mortal Kombat 4 – 1997 (Arcade)
– Mortal Kombat Advance – 2001 (Game Boy Advance)
– Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance – 2002 (Game Boy Advance)
– Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – 2003 (Game Boy Advance)

Mike Mika from Digital Eclipse, the guy with the coolest job, had a lot to say about it. Mortal Kombat, according to him, shook up everything. And honestly, I kinda agree. It twisted the video game world into something edgier, leaving a mark that’s still there today. Mika talks about how the Legacy Kollection isn’t just about preserving games. Nope. It’s about understanding the craziness and the brilliance that turned Mortal Kombat into the legend it is.

Oh, and don’t hold your breath waiting for the release. It’s set for 2025, but no exact date yet. It’ll hit all the big platforms—PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and so on. If there’s any justice in the world, 2025 better hurry up!

Anyway, there you have it. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. Delve into this time machine and maybe, just maybe, relive some of that first-time magic when pixels and punches collided and changed everything forever.
