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, with in-app purchases ceasing on August 23rd, 2024. Servers will finally go offline on October 21st, 2024, bringing an end to the brutal beat 'em up experience.
While official reasons remain undisclosed, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division – responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice – suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.
The question of refunds for in-game purchases remains unanswered. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have yet to clarify their policy regarding purchased currency and customization 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 franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game predecessors, this action-adventure RPG blended intense combat with a cinematic narrative, reminiscent of free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The storyline centered on Raiden and a player-controlled team thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
