Warner Bros. Shuts Down Mortal Kombat: Onslaught One Year Post-Launch

Warner Bros. Games has decided to discontinue Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a mobile game, almost exactly one year after its launch. The game was removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on July 22nd, 2024. If you're a fan, read on to understand more about the shutdown of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught.

Starting August 23rd, 2024, in-game purchases will no longer be available. However, you can continue playing until October 21st, 2024. After this date, the servers will be shut down, marking the end of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught.

The reasons behind this decision remain undisclosed. However, it's worth noting that NetherRealm recently closed its mobile games division, which was responsible for Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice as well. This closure could indicate a larger strategic shift impacting other mobile titles developed by the team.

What About In-Game Purchases?

If you've invested in in-game items, you might be concerned about what happens next. Unfortunately, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have not yet provided details on refunds for your purchases. They have promised to release more information soon, so keep an eye on their official X (Twitter) account for any updates regarding refunds.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, launched in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, is an action-adventure beat 'em up RPG. Unlike previous entries in the series, it focuses less on traditional fighting and more on a cinematic storyline, reminiscent of free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game's plot centers on thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's attempt to regain his power, with the help of Raiden and your squad of fighters.
