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 starting August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline October 21st, 2024.
The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, although NetherRealm's recent shuttering of its mobile games division—responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice—suggests a potential shift in company strategy.
The status of in-game purchases remains unclear. While NetherRealm and Warner Bros. haven't commented on refunds for in-game currency or purchased items, they've promised further updates. Follow their official X (formerly Twitter) account for the latest information.
Released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique departure from traditional Mortal Kombat gameplay. This action-adventure RPG blended intense combat with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. Players teamed up with Raiden to thwart the resurrected Elder God Shinnok.
