Before you place your pre-order, you will need to decide which edition of the Legacy Kollection to go for. There are three editions - standard, deluxe, and Kollector’s - and what’s included in each differs quite a bit. If all you want is a physical copy of the game, there’s the standard edition, which will be released on all current-gen consoles as well as the originalNintendo Switch.Standard edition prices start at $49.99.
All editions of the Legacy Kollection also come with a free slipcase if you place a pre-order. You will be able to choose the color and theme of the slipcase you receive with Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, and Smoke options to choose from.
Unlike most other games, the Legacy Kollection’s deluxe edition comes with physical extras rather than digital ones. A Steelbook and mini marquees among them, if you want those extras,you will need to pay either $69.99 or $79.99 depending on your chosen platform. Unfortunately, it looks like the deluxe edition won’t be released onXbox Series X|S.
The most expensive version of Mortal Kombat’s Legacy Kollection is the Kollector’s Edition. Being sold through Limited Run Games, the most expensive edition of the collection comes with an array of items that won’t be available anywhere else, chief among them a Goro statue that can hold a controller. Due to it being a Limited Run release,you will need to pre-order the Kollector’s Edition before it’s delisted on August 31. It also doesn’t have a firm release date, whereasthe standard and deluxe editions will be released on June 14, 2025.

What Games Are Part Of The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
When the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection was revealed, Digital Eclipse confirmed that the first four Mortal Kombat games will be a part of it, allowing fans of the series to play through its original titles right from the start. Not only the console versions of those games, but also the versions that were playable in arcades and ported to handhelds.
It teased that there were more reveals to come, and that promise has already been fulfilled. Also a part of the Kollection is Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Trilogy was originally released in 1996 and brought the rosters from the first three games under one roof. It seems as if there are more reveals to come, too, so we might have even more classic Mortal Kombat games to play when the Kollection is released later this year.
The physical edition of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will be released onPS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch,Nintendo Switch 2, andPCon Jun 01, 2025. A digital version will be released on the same platforms as well asPS4andXbox One.
