Warner Bros. Shuts Down Mortal Kombat: Onslaught After One Year

Warner Bros. Games has announced the closure of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, exactly one year following its launch. The mobile game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. Here's everything you need to know about the Mortal Kombat: Onslaught shutdown.

Starting August 23rd, 2024, all in-game transactions will cease. However, players can continue to enjoy the game until October 21st, 2024. After this date, the servers will be shut down, marking the end of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught.

The exact reasons for the discontinuation remain undisclosed. However, the recent closure of NetherRealm's mobile games division, which also developed Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice, suggests a possible shift in strategy that might be impacting other mobile titles from the same studio.

What About In-Game Purchases?

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

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, launched in October 2023 to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary, introduced a unique twist to the series. Unlike traditional fighting games, this action-adventure beat 'em up RPG combines intense combat with a cinematic storyline. Players join forces with Raiden to stop the fallen Elder God Shinnok from reclaiming his power, offering an experience reminiscent of free-to-play mobile MOBAs.
