Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection announced for all major platforms

13 May 2011

Wouldn’t you know it, Warner Bros. Interactive is capitalising on the renewed interest in the Mortal Kombat franchise by releasing a compilation of the original trilogy of Mortal Kombat games. Despite my snide remark, this does sound awesome.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection for PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Arcade and Windows PC. The collection consists of the original Mortal Kombat arcade trilogy; Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.  It is scheduled to be available sometime during Q3 2011.

“We are very excited to finally have the first three Mortal Kombat games available in one download package for long-time and new fans to play,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director, NetherRealm Studios. “With the release of our 2011 Mortal Kombat, and its return to 2D game play, players have been asking for these classic titles and we are happy to deliver them.”

Developed by Other Ocean in conjunction with NetherRealm studios, the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will offer fans the chance to play through the games in their original arcade state. In addition, this new collection will feature online play, leaderboards, achievements and trophies.

The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection will be going for US$9.99 (±R70) on PlayStation Network or 800 Microsoft Points. A price for the PC version has not yet been indicated.
