Never accuse Digital Eclipse of not going all-in for its retro compilations. The studio’s next release, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection<\/a>, looks to be no different, and a sighting and Gamescom confirms that the developer is going all in by including two of the least-popular MK games.<\/p>\n

In a video posted originally on Twitter (now X), and since shared on the Mortalkombatleaks subreddit<\/a> (thanks Wario64<\/a>!), a list of games available on the collection is shown off, with two more titles revealing themselves at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Those two games? Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero<\/a> and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces<\/a>. Not two particularly beloved games, if memory serves, but every single game deserves to be preserved, so we’re really pleased to see them here.<\/p>\n

After all, it wouldn’t be a true history lesson or timeline if you simply covered all the cracks, and some people probably like these games.<\/p>\n

Those unaware of these two Mortal Kombat spin-offs, let’s take you through them. Mythologies: Sub-Zero launched on the N64 in 1997 (shortly after the PS1 release)and focuses on the elder Sub-Zero Bi-Han, who is on a quest to find Shinnok’s amulet. Acting as a prequel to Mortal Kombat 4<\/a>, this isn’t a traditional fighting game, it’s a side-scroller with a little light platforming but similar controls to earlier MK games.<\/p>\n

Special Forces was a PlayStation exclusive that came out in 2000 and, similarly to Sub-Zero, focuses on an individual character in Jax and is a completely different genre, a top-down action-adventure game. The game suffered from development issues and Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias, along with others at Midway, left part-way through development.<\/p>\n

We’re sure to get an official announcement from Digital Eclipse or Atari pretty soon, but it doesn’t look like these are the last additions to the game, either.<\/p>\n

We already know the game is getting a full physical release on Switch 2<\/a>, which is excellent news, so we hope we’re getting an official release date, which hasn’t been announced despite numerous leaks<\/a> over the weeks.<\/p>\n

Are you surprised to see Mythologies and Special Forces in the Kollection? Finish your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n
