Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Falls After Early Launch

Warner Bros. Games is shutting down its mobile title, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, less than a year after its launch. The game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. In-app purchases will be disabled on August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline on October 21st, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, though it follows NetherRealm's recent decision to close its mobile games division, responsible for other titles like Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.

The fate of in-game purchases is currently unclear. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have yet to comment on potential refunds for in-game currency and items, promising further information soon. Players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.

Released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game predecessors, it blended action-adventure combat with a cinematic narrative, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game's storyline centered around Raiden and a player-controlled team thwarting Shinnok's bid for power.
