Legacy Kollection adds two MK spin offs

Digital Eclipse expands the Legacy Kollection by including two lesser known Mortal Kombat spin offs.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Adds Mythologies Sub Zero and Special Forces

Digital Eclipse’s Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is expanding to include two less-loved spin-offs: Mythologies Sub Zero and Mortal Kombat Special Forces. A video circulated at Gamescom and posts on X show the titles listed among the collection, confirming their place in the lineup. Mythologies Sub Zero, released in 1997 for Nintendo 64, is a side-scroller centered on Bi-Han and a quest for Shinnok’s amulet, not a traditional fighting game. Special Forces, a 2000 PlayStation exclusive, is a top-down action adventure focusing on Jax and faced development hurdles. Together, they broaden MK’s history beyond the core fighting titles.

The bundle will also have a full physical release on Switch 2, though an official date has not been announced. The move underscores continued interest in retro MK and in presenting a fuller arc of the franchise. Reactions are likely to be mixed: some fans welcome archival breadth, others worry about straying from the fighting legacy. Preserving game history often means embracing imperfect chapters, not just the highlighted moments. Readers are invited to share how they view these additions.

The inclusion of Mythologies Sub Zero and Special Forces signals a shift in how collectors frame a long-running fighting franchise. It treats the MK universe as a living archive rather than a tight roster of classics. This approach can broaden appreciation for game design evolution, even when some entries are controversial or divisive. At a practical level, a Switch 2 release shows publishers believe retro titles can sustain a modern audience, but it also raises questions about the balance between fan service and quality control. The real test is whether these games teach new players about where MK came from without diluting its core identity.

Highlights

Time will tell how future fans judge these hidden chapters.
