It’s already an extensive line-up, but Digital Eclipse has a few more surprises up its sleeve. And it’s not just talking about games. It also has a documentary planned that will detail the development of the legendary fighting series that stirred up a violent video game panic in the ’90s when it first splattered onto arcade machines.
“Earlier this year, Digital Eclipse traveled to NetherRealm Studios to interview Mortal Kombat co-creators Ed Boon and John Tobias alongside literally dozens of other developers, actors, industry luminaries, fans, and Mortal Kombat experts,” Kohler said. “We’re also doing a deep dive into the history of Mortal Kombat to find design documents, early prototype materials, motion-capture sessions, concept art, and much more, some never before seen.”
Legacy Kollection will launch sometime later this year, and Digital Eclipse plans to unveil even more in the coming months.
