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 starting August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline October 21st, 2024.
The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, though it follows NetherRealm's recent decision to close its mobile games division, impacting titles like Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a broader strategic shift within the company.
Regarding in-game purchases, NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have yet to clarify their refund policy for in-game currency and items. They've promised further information soon, so players should monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.
Launched in October 2023 to commemorate the Mortal Kombat franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique departure from the series' traditional fighting focus. 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 player-controlled team thwarting Shinnok's attempt to regain his power.
