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 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:
NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have yet to comment on refunds for in-game purchases. While they promise further information soon, players are advised to monitor their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates regarding refunds for in-game currency and items.
About Mortal Kombat: Onslaught:
Released in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the series. Unlike its fighting game predecessors, it blended action-adventure combat with a cinematic narrative, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The storyline centered on Raiden and a player-controlled team thwarting the Elder God Shinnok's power grab.
