"Since releasing Atari 50 in 2022, Digital Eclipse has established itself as a champion for game preservation, thanks in large part to its "interactive documentary" approach. The Making of Karateka, Tetris Forever, and Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story have all explored notable names and games of the past with great success. For its next project, the studio set its sights on the history behind one of the most famous properties in gaming: Mortal Kombat."
"Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection is a loving tribute to the early years of the trailblazing fighting game franchise. Over 20 games from kombats past, across multiple formats, are expertly restored, all highlighted by a deep-dive documentary into the history of the series, as well as the studios, and the notable names responsible for them. And Digital Eclipse has once again set the bar for preservation, as this is a collection worthy of Mortal Kombat's legacy."
Digital Eclipse continued its game-preservation focus after Atari 50 by applying an interactive documentary approach. Previous projects explored notable games and creators like Karateka, Tetris, and Jeff Minter. Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection restores twenty-three Mortal Kombat titles across arcade, console, and handheld platforms, preserving original look, feel, fighters, features, and modes. The collection adds a deep documentary covering the series' history, studios, and key figures. Several games receive technical improvements, such as removed loading delays in the PlayStation Mortal Kombat Trilogy Shang Tsung morph, and optional enhancements like on-screen move lists that evoke arcade nostalgia.
