Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Mortal Kombat: Onslaught less than a year after its launch. The mobile game was removed from the Google Play Store and App Store on July 22nd, 2024. Read on for details about the game's closure.
In-app purchases will be disabled starting August 23rd, 2024, but players can continue playing until October 21st, 2024, when the servers will be permanently shut down.
The exact reasons for the shutdown remain undisclosed. However, NetherRealm's recent closure of its mobile games division (which also handled Mortal Kombat Mobile and Injustice) suggests a potential shift in the company's mobile gaming strategy.
What About Refunds?
Players who made in-game purchases are awaiting clarification on refunds for in-game currency and items. NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have not yet detailed their refund policy but promise further information soon. Follow their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.
Launched in October 2023 to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary (announced October 2022), Mortal Kombat: Onslaught offered a unique take on the Mortal Kombat series. Unlike previous installments, it blended action-adventure RPG elements with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. The game centered on Raiden and the player's team thwarting Shinnok's attempt to regain his power.
