WB's Mortal Kombat Onslaught Ends Service After 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 on October 21st, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed, although NetherRealm's recent decision to close its mobile games division—responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice—suggests a broader strategic shift.

Refunds for In-Game Purchases:

The developers haven't yet commented on refunds for in-game purchases. While they promise further information soon, players are advised to monitor the official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates regarding refunds.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, offered a unique take on the Mortal Kombat universe. 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 thwarting Shinnok's power grab with the aid of Raiden and a player-controlled fighting team.
