Warner Bros. Shuts Down Mortal Kombat: Onslaught

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, with in-app purchases ceasing on August 23rd, 2024. Servers will officially be offline by October 21st, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, although it follows NetherRealm's recent decision to shutter its mobile games division, which also oversaw Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.

Players who made in-game purchases are awaiting clarification on refunds for their currency and items. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have promised further information and advise monitoring 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 RPG blended intense combat with a cinematic narrative, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The storyline centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting the resurrected Elder God, Shinnok.
