Warner Bros. Announces The Shutdown Of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Just One Year After Its Launch

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 finally going offline on 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.

Refunds for in-game purchases are currently unconfirmed. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have promised further information regarding refunds, encouraging players to monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.

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 beat 'em up RPG blended intense combat with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game's narrative centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
