Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Includes A Game That Has Been Unplayable For Almost 30 Years

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will include PlayStation-era spin-offs Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub‑Zero and Mortal Kombat Special Forces, restored for modern platforms after decades of unavailability. The included titles receive enhancements such as a rewind feature, on-screen move lists, a Trainer Mode for learning combos and fatalities, and reduced load times. The WaveNet edition of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is part of the compilation; that arcade build originally supported Midway's WaveNet online matchmaking and uniquely featured Noob Saibot as a playable character. Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub‑Zero (1997) combines sidescrolling action with 2D Mortal Kombat combat, offering a skill tree and live-action cinematics alongside challenging platforming and controls.

These titles have been unavailable for decades on PC and newer consoles, and Digital Eclipse added that they're being enhanced alongside the other Mortal Kombat games in the roster. The studio says that there will be a rewind feature to make gameplay more forgiving, on-screen move lists, and a Trainer Mode to help players learn various combos and fatalities. Players can also expect reduced load times in each game.

If you never played Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero or Mortal Kombat Special Forces, then you missed out on two interesting games. Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero was released in 1997, and it was a sidescrolling action game that still retained the combat from the 2D Mortal Kombat games. A sound idea in theory, but in practice, the unforgiving platform sections and brutally difficult traps-- combined with sluggish controls--made it a chore to play.
