Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Discontinued by Warner Bros.

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 on August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially closing on October 21st, 2024.

The reasons behind the shutdown remain undisclosed, though it follows NetherRealm's recent closure of its mobile games division, which also handled Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice. This suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.

Refunds for In-Game Purchases:

Players who made in-game purchases are awaiting clarification on refunds for spent currency and purchased items. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have promised further updates, advising players to monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for announcements.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game predecessors, it blended action-adventure 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 Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
