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 starting August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline October 21st, 2024.

While the exact reasons for the shutdown remain undisclosed, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division (responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice) suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.

The status of in-game purchases remains unclear. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have not yet commented on potential refunds for purchased currency or items, but promise further information soon. Players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.

Released 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 the player's team thwarting Shinnok's attempt to regain his power.
