Digital Eclipse has officially confirmed two more games for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, as the infamous PlayStation-era spin-offs Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat Special Forces are being added to the compilation. These titles have been unavailable for decades on PC and newer consoles, and Digital Eclipse added that they’re being enhanced alongside the other Mortal Kombat games in the roster.

The studio says that there will be a rewind feature to make gameplay more forgiving, on-screen move lists, and a Trainer Mode to help players learn various combos and fatalities. Players can also expect reduced load times in each game.

The other big reveal from the studio was that the WaveNet edition of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will also be included in the collection. This was originally developed to support Midway’s ambitious WaveNet online matchmaking service for arcade machines, and it was the only Mortal Kombat arcade game to feature Noob Saibot as a playable character.

If you want an idea of just how big of a deal it is to have this version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 included, NetherRealm lead QA analyst Stephanie Brownback has a detailed thread on just how ahead of its time the technology was, the significant gameplay changes that were made for this edition, and how this version of the game was thought to be lost to time before a working arcade cabinet was found.

If you never played Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero or Mortal Kombat Special Forces, then you missed out on two interesting games. Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero was released in 1997, and it was a sidescrolling action game that still retained the combat from the 2D Mortal Kombat games. A sound idea in theory, but in practice, the unforgiving platform sections and brutally difficult traps– combined with sluggish controls–made it a chore to play. If you could look past those flaws, the game did have an interesting skill-tree system and live-action cinematics that rivaled the 1995 film in the cheese department.

Mortal Kombat: Special Forces hit the scene in 2000, and it had a rocky development. Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias and several other staff members left Midway before the game was finished, leading to content being cut and plans for Sonya Blade to feature as a playable character to be scrapped. The game isn’t fondly remembered, but it’s still an interesting part of Mortal Kombat history that Digital Eclipse is preserving for a new generation of players.

If you’re looking to grab it, you can preorder the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection right now. With those two entries confirmed, the full list of playable games includes:

• Mortal Kombat — 1992 (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear)
