Warner Bros. Games is shutting down its mobile title, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, less than a year after its release. The game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. In-app purchases will be disabled on August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially going offline on October 21st, 2024.
The reasons behind the shutdown remain unannounced, though it follows the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division, which also developed Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile game strategy.
Refunds for In-Game Purchases?
Players who made in-game purchases are awaiting clarification on refunds for in-game currency and items. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have promised further information soon, advising players to monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.
Launched in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the series. Unlike previous installments, this action-adventure RPG blended intense combat with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The narrative centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting the fallen Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
