Warner Bros. Shuts Down Mortal Kombat: Onslaught After One Year

Warner Bros. Games has announced the closure of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a mobile game that launched just under a year ago. The game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. Dive deeper to understand the details surrounding the Mortal Kombat: Onslaught shutdown.

Starting August 23rd, 2024, all in-game purchases will be halted. However, players can continue to enjoy the game until October 21st, 2024. After this date, the servers will be shut down, marking the end of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught.

The reasons behind the decision to discontinue Mortal Kombat: Onslaught remain undisclosed. However, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division, which also developed Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice, suggests a possible shift in strategy that may impact other mobile titles from the same studio.

What About In-Game Purchases?

Players who have made in-game purchases are left in the dark regarding refunds for their spent currency and customization items. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have promised to release more information soon. Keep an eye on their official X (Twitter) account for the latest updates on potential refunds.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023, was a unique addition to the Mortal Kombat franchise, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Announced in October 2022, it stands out as the fourth game in the series that diverges from traditional fighting gameplay. Instead, it blends intense combat with a cinematic storyline, reminiscent of free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game's narrative focuses on thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's attempt to regain power, with assistance from Raiden and your fighter squad.
