An update around lobbies and online play for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection

An Online Arcade feature is currently in development, which will give players the opportunity to create private or public rooms, select the games they want to play, and invite friends to join in. Each room can host up to 16 players, and multiple games can be played simultaneously; think of it as your personal Mortal Kombat game room, filled with just the games you love most (including multiples of any given game – so if you want two MKII machines, you can do that!). On individual games within the room, players rotate playing in a classic arcade "winner stays" queue structure or they can choose to simply spectate. This lobby feature is much more robust than Quick Match and is more ambitious than Digital Eclipse has done in its previous games, so it demands additional testing both internally and from external partners before it's ready for players to enjoy. We expect this feature to be added via an update within a few weeks after launch, but this is dependent on internal and first-party approval timeframes, which can vary between platforms. Keep an eye on our socials for updates. All of this and more is explained on our website FAQ! Thank you for your continued support. - Digital Eclipse Team
