The first three Mortal Kombat games are some of the most iconic fighting games of all time, both because of their gameplay and because of the controversy that followed them. The Mortal Kombat series is still going strong to this day, but it may not be long before we it revisit its roots through the Mortal Kombat Kollection, a remastered compilation of the first three games in the franchise.
The Mortal Kombat Kollection is actually something that’s been rumored for a number of years at this point. Once thought to be cancelled, Gematsu has found a PEGI rating for a game called Mortal Kombat Kollection Online. PEGI, as many of you know, is more or less the European equivalent of the ESRB here in the United States.
There wasn’t a ton of information contained in this PEGI listing, aside from a blurb and an unsurprising rating of PEGI 18. That blurb, however, does shed some light on what we can expect from this compilation:
Mortal Kombat Kollection Online is the original Mortal Kombat trilogy that Mortal Kombat fans always wanted. Upgraded art, gameplay, and online features provide an incredible experience that revive the “klassics”…
So, it looks like not only will the first three games be remastered, but we’ll also see online play too. The listing also says that Mortal Kombat Kollection Online will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch, so basically all modern platforms aside from mobile devices.
Mortal Kombat Kollection Xbox One
That’s all we’re getting from the PEGI listing, so it seems we’ll have to wait for Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm to actually confirm Mortal Kombat Kollection Online before we learn more. Granted, a listing with PEGI doesn’t guarantee that such an announcement is coming, but it is a pretty good indication that this game is on the way. Stay tuned.

Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is a 2011 video game co-developed by NetherRealm Studios, Other Ocean Interactive and Code Mystics and published by Warner Bros. Games. It is a compilation of three classic 2D fighting games in the Mortal Kombat series: Mortal Kombat (1992), Mortal Kombat II (1993) and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995). The game was created after an ambitious previous incarnation, an HD remake project titled Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection, was cancelled. Arcade Kollection was released as a downloadable title for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on August 31, 2011, and for Microsoft Windows on February 1, 2012.
Gameplay[edit]
The game is a compilation of the first three Mortal Kombat games. Along with a few very minor changes to them, it features online multiplayer, pause menus, achievements, also making unlockable characters always available in online mode.
Development[edit]
The game was originally conceived as an HD remake of the early Mortal Kombat games, featuring remade character sprites, new backgrounds and new user interface system, before the scope of the project was changed.[1] Known as Mortal Kombat HD Arcade Kollection,[2] it was supposed to be made by Other Ocean Interactive, the studio that has created Ultimate Mortal Kombat for the Nintendo DS.[3] This project was never even officially announced before it was canceled,[4] and a simple compilation of original games was released instead, also created by Other Ocean.

Graphical assets, such as Zbrush models for the Animalities and Mileena's unmasked face have been since leaked by the artist Jeremy Kohar in 2013.[3] Previously, more concept art from the project was revealed by the artist John Montenegro.[1] In 2014, make-up artist Tanea Brooks released pictures of herself helping the new actors for Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, Shao Kahn, and Sonya Blade prepare for a shooting session for HD Kollection.[5][6]

Another attempt at re-editing the original trilogy in HD was made by Blind Squirrel Games, but was also cancelled before it came to be.[7]
