Digital Eclipse explains omission of MK Gold from Legacy Kollection
Digital Eclipse has confirmed the Legacy Kollection will arrive before year’s end with 11 titles. The roster includes the original Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat 4 arcade version, Mortal Kombat Advance, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance (Game Boy Advance version), Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero, and Mortal Kombat Special Forces.
Key Takeaways
"So, we understand the appeal of Mortal Kombat Gold. But we're just not ready to do it yet."
Amrich on the omission of MK Gold from the collection
"We're actually the company that did the very first commercial emulation."
Amrich on Digital Eclipse's legacy in emulation
"Do we like Mortal Kombat Gold? Yes! Did we hear that you asked for it? Yes! Do we want it? Yes! Is something that we'd like to do sometime in the future? We would love to."
Fan demand and future interest
"The keyword to pay attention to is yet."
Future DLC hint from Amrich
The absence of Mortal Kombat Gold shows how curators of classic games must weigh licensing and hardware realities against fan demand. Emulation work is technical, and Dreamcast-era content adds complexity beyond earlier generations. Digital Eclipse argues it is not a simple copy and paste job, which explains the omission without dismissing the fan base.
Yet the word yet signals a longer horizon. If the team ever adds DLC or a future package, it would reshape how retro collections are built and sold. For now the focus is delivering a solid 11-game package built with careful engineering, even as fans watch for retro surprises.
Highlights
- Mortal Kombat Gold fans deserve more than a hint of what could be.
- We understand the appeal of Mortal Kombat Gold but we're not ready to do it yet.
- Dreamcast era to modern emulation is a long road.
- The keyword to pay attention to is yet.
The past keeps calling, but the present has its limits.
