Xbox app hints at Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection release date

Fans may soon celebrate the return of classic Mortal Kombat titles with a new release date leak.

Xbox app leak reveals release date for Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection

Digital Eclipse has been gearing up to release Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, which features popular arcade games from the franchise. A recent update to the Xbox app hinted at a potential launch date of September 29 or 30, depending on regional settings. Although that specific date has since been removed from the app, screenshots from fans confirm that previous listings included this date. Many speculate that the official announcement is likely to come during the Evo USA event taking place this Friday, adding to the excitement of fans looking forward to the collection. Announced at last month's PlayStation State of Play, the Kollection aims to showcase the origins of the Mortal Kombat series along with additional content such as character histories and lore.

The leaked information about the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is more than just a date; it marks a significant moment for long-time fans. The return of these classic titles taps into nostalgia, bringing back memories and gameplay experiences from their initial release. Furthermore, the potential unveiling during a major event like Evo USA indicates that the franchise is positioning itself to re-engage a dedicated audience just before a new movie installment arrives. It’s a strategic move that could boost interest and sales, particularly as the gaming community eagerly anticipates fresh opportunities for collaboration between gaming and film.
