Mortal Kombat: Onslaught faces abrupt closure after mere one year

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. In-app purchases will be disabled on August 23rd, 2024, with servers officially shutting down October 21st, 2024.

The reasons for the closure remain undisclosed, but 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. haven't yet clarified their refund policy for in-game purchases. They've promised further information soon; follow their official X (formerly Twitter) account for updates.

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 previous installments, it blended action-adventure RPG elements with a cinematic storyline, drawing comparisons to free-to-play mobile MOBAs. Players joined Raiden and a team of fighters to prevent the fallen Elder God Shinnok from regaining his power.
