Warner Bros. Games announces Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a Mobile-Exclusive RPG

Warner Bros. Games announced Mortal Kombat Onslaught as a new mobile Mortal Kombat game. The game is described as a collection role-playing game where players build a roster of fighters from the Mortal Kombat universe and “unleash them in massive real-time group battles.” It’s more than just battles, though – Onslaught is also said to feature a cinematic story experience where fighters have to defeat a “dark and dangerous threat.”

The mobile version of Mortal Kombat is not the only one. Mortal Kombat Mobile, which was launched in 2015 along with Mortal Kombat X, eventually adapted features and characters from Mortal Kombat 11. Mortal Kombat Mobile has been downloaded over 150 million times since its launch, so it’s no wonder WB Games wants to release more games from the franchise.

October 8 marked the series’ 30th anniversary, and Mortal Kombat: Onslaught seems to be a celebration of that. Not only is it the newest mobile game in the series, but it’s also the most recent title since the release of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate in 2020. Netherrealm is very quiet regarding the future of Netherrealm outside the mobile market. Outside of our interview with franchise co-creator Ed Boon where he said we’d have to wait a little longer, the most recent news we’ve received has been this tweet:

Mortal Kombat – Onslaught will come out sometime between 2023 and 2024. You can sign up to receive more updates from their site here. If you’re hungry for more Mortal Kombat, check out this trailer celebrating its 30th anniversary.
