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 officially going offline October 21st, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain unannounced, although NetherRealm's recent decision to dissolve its mobile games division (which also handled Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice) suggests a potential shift in company strategy.

The status of in-game purchases remains unclear. While NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. haven't commented on refunds for purchased currency or items, they've promised further updates. Players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for announcements regarding refunds.

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, 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 team of fighters thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
