Warner Bros. Games is shutting down its mobile title, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, less than a year after its release. The game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. In-app purchases will be disabled starting August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline on October 21st, 2024.
The reasons behind the shutdown remain undisclosed, though it coincides with NetherRealm Studios closing its mobile games division, which also oversaw Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.
The status of in-game purchases remains unclear. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. haven't commented on potential refunds for in-game currency or purchased items, promising further information soon. Players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.
Launched in October 2023 to commemorate the Mortal Kombat franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique departure from the series' traditional fighting game formula. It blended action-adventure combat with a cinematic narrative, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game's storyline centered on Raiden and a player-controlled team thwarting the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
