Warner Bros. Closes 'Mortal Kombat: Onslaught' Mobile Game

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 going offline October 21st, 2024.

The reasons for the shutdown remain undisclosed, though it coincides with 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:

NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games haven't yet commented on refunds for in-game purchases. They've promised further information soon, so players should monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates regarding refunds for spent currency and acquired items.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, offered a unique take on the Mortal Kombat series. Unlike previous installments, this action-adventure RPG blended beat 'em up combat with a cinematic story, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The narrative centers on Raiden and a player-controlled team thwarting the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
