Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection release date reportedly leaked via Xbox app
The release date for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection—a compilation of classic titles from the legendary fighting game franchise—has reportedly surfaced ahead of any official announcement. Multiple sources indicate the game is set to launch on September 29, 2025.
The leak appears to have originated from a listing that briefly went live on the Xbox app, where users spotted the suspected release date over the weekend. Screenshots of the listing, shared widely online and reported by IGN, display the September 29 date. However, some users reported seeing a September 30 date, likely due to differences in regional time zones.
The earliest mention of the leak seems to have come from the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, where fans speculated that a formal announcement could arrive during Evo 2025, the premier fighting game tournament kicking off August 1 in Las Vegas. Interestingly, the Xbox listing in India still shows a June 6, 2025 release date—the same day Legacy Kollection was first revealed during Sony’s State of Play. This has led to speculation that the earlier date may have served as a placeholder, or that regional listings haven’t been uniformly updated.
Legacy Kollection is being developed by Digital Eclipse, known for their work on retro game collections. The package will include arcade, console, and handheld versions of the first four Mortal Kombat games. It’s also expected to feature online multiplayer, an interactive documentary, interviews with original developers, and detailed lore content covering key characters and storylines.
The game is slated to launch on a broad range of platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Switch 2. As of now, Digital Eclipse has not officially commented on the leaked date.
In related news, Helldivers 2, the chaotic co-op third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is set to make its debut on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025. The announcement, shared via Xbox Wire and confirmed during a recent livestream, marks a surprising milestone: Sony is officially publishing one of its major titles on a competing console, a rare and noteworthy move in the ongoing console landscape.
