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 for the shutdown remain unannounced, though it follows NetherRealm's recent closure of its mobile games division, which also oversaw Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.
Refunds for In-Game Purchases:
Players who made in-game purchases are awaiting clarification on refunds for in-game currency and items. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have promised further details soon, advising players to monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.
Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, offered a unique take on the Mortal Kombat series. Unlike previous installments, it blended action-adventure RPG elements with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
