In the Xbox app, some noticed that the release date for the fighting game collection had suddenly changed. Perhaps an official announcement is coming at Evo 2025.
In the Xbox app, announced games without an official release date have a placeholder date. This was also the case for the eagerly awaited Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection, whose placeholder date was December 31. However, last weekend, this date was briefly replaced with another.
Depending on the region, either September 29 or 30 was displayed. This has not yet been officially confirmed, but it could have been an accidental leak on Xbox's part. However, we may not have to wait long for official confirmation, as there is already speculation that the announcement will be made this coming weekend.
Evo 2025 Could Confirm Release
The Evolution Championship Series (Evo) is the largest fighting game tournament in the world. Evo is becoming more popular every year and is therefore increasingly being used for announcements in the fighting game sector. This year, the US branch of the tournament will take place from August 1 to 3.
Last year, Evo mainly featured new characters for various fighting games, but there was also an announcement about the release of the game Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact. So it's quite possible that Evo will reveal more details about the Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection.
All Old School Mortal Kombats In One
The Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection is a compilation that aims to celebrate the entire series. It includes over 20 versions of the retro spin-offs of the games, whether arcade, handheld, or console versions. With this collection, Digital Eclipse and Atari aim to make the beginnings of the cult series accessible to everyone.
All arcade and console games in the collection will also feature online-multiplayer and rollback net code. It remains to be seen what the final scope of the collection will be, but in the best case scenario, we only have to wait until September to find out.
