8 Popular Fighting Games Arrive on PS4, PS5 in New Collection

Whoa, okay, so here’s the scoop (and my scattered thoughts) from this chaotic gaming cornucopia—those folks over at Digital Eclipse and Warner Bros. Interactive are whipping up something called the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. So, picture this—you’re sitting at the June 2025 PlayStation State of Play thing, right? And BOOM, they drop this bombshell. Eight—yes, eight—titles from the fighting realm of Mortal Kombat are getting bundled up. (Kinda wild, isn’t it?)

So, what’s this Kollection all about, you ask? Well, it’s sorta like rummaging through a gaming attic full of dusty treasures. Digital Eclipse—being all nostalgic and stuff—is tossing in different game versions. It’s like, arcade here, SNES there, and oh, don’t forget Genesis and Game Boy. Mortal Kombat II gets this royal treatment, too. And guess what? There’s a documentary slapped in there somewhere. I’m talking about Ed Boon and the crew riffing on their crafty makings. (And honestly, those guys have stories for days.)

Alright, let’s meander through the game list. Here it is, in a mess because that’s how my mind works lately:

– Mortal Kombat – 1992 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear, and the kitchen sink probably)
– Mortal Kombat II – 1993 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, and yes, even the elusive 32X)
– Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (Arcade, SNES)
– Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 – 1995 (And let’s pretend we haven’t played it a gazillion times)
– Mortal Kombat 4 – 1997 (Arcade—back when graphics were, erm, unique)
– Mortal Kombat Advance – 2001 (Game Boy Advance—let’s not get started on that)
– Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance – 2002 (The world of GBA again!)
– Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition – 2003 (Yes, another one for GBA, because why not?)

And I’ve gotta share this epic quote from Mike Mika (he’s the big cheese at Digital Eclipse). He said something like how Mortal Kombat reshaped gaming culture. It wasn’t just some button-mashing madness—it was bold, shocking, and, um, pretty unforgettable. All these years and still roaring like a dragon on steroids.

Hold up, here’s the kicker: they’re releasing this beast of a Kollection in 2025. Yeah, that means it’s waiting in the wings for PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and even that newfangled Switch 2. No date yet, so it’s like a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh well, enjoy gaming or whatever.
