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 October 21st, 2024.
While the exact reasons remain undisclosed, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division (responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice) suggests a broader strategic shift.
The status of in-game purchases remains unclear, with Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios yet to comment on potential refunds for spent currency and items. They promise future updates, so follow their official X (formerly Twitter) account for news.
Launched in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game counterparts, it blended action-adventure combat with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. Players teamed with Raiden to thwart the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
