The newly released Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection from Digital Eclipse is already receiving its first significant update, aimed at refining the player experience across several key areas. This initial patch, available now on Steam with other platforms scheduled to follow next week, focuses on audio enhancements, specific fixes for Mortal Kombat 4, and improved stability for the Genesis titles included in the collection.
Players can expect a range of specific improvements detailed in the official patch notes. Online play benefits from an improved audio buffer, while the 32X version of Mortal Kombat II has its missing audio restored. General fixes have been applied to Mortal Kombat 4, and a problem causing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 to reboot after Scorpion’s fatality has been resolved. The update also reduces the pause button hold time by half and introduces One-Button Fatalities for all arcade titles, making classic finishing moves more accessible. Further stability updates have been made to the collection’s Music Player.
Beyond this immediate hotfix, Digital Eclipse has outlined ambitious plans for future content. A major upcoming addition is the Online Arcade mode, a sophisticated system that will allow players to create public or private lobbies. These lobbies can host up to 16 participants, who can select from the available games and either compete in a “winner stays” queue or simply watch the action. The developer emphasizes that this feature is more complex than their previous online offerings and requires thorough testing, with an expected release a few weeks after the game’s launch, pending approval from platform holders.
Another free update planned for the near future is The Khronicle of the Realms. This feature will expand The Krypt with an illustrated history that delves into the epic conflicts from the first four arcade games. It promises to provide a clear and concise record of the battles between realms like Outworld, Earthrealm, and Edenia, offering deeper lore for dedicated fans.
Regarding other online functionalities, crossplay support is not available at launch, and the team has not committed to its inclusion. They have stated that once same-system online matches are running smoothly, they will re-evaluate the feasibility of adding cross-platform play. The developer is also investigating the potential for ranked matches, though no specific timeline has been provided for this competitive feature.
