Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Shuts Down After Launch

Warner Bros. Games is shutting down its mobile game, 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 on August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline October 21st, 2024.

While the exact reasons for the shutdown remain undisclosed, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division (also responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice) suggests a larger strategic shift.

The status of in-game purchases remains unclear. Warner Bros. and NetherRealm have not yet commented on potential refunds for in-game currency or items, but promise further information soon. Players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game predecessors, it blended action-adventure combat with a cinematic story, reminiscent of free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The narrative centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
