While most Mortal Kombat fans would prefer to have a new console-based entry in the series for its 30th anniversary, the newly-announced Mortal Kombat: Onslaught looks to tide fans over until that happens. Launching globally in 2023 for mobile devices, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught will see players building a team of fighters from a roster of characters to unleash them in massive real-time group battles.
Developed and co-published by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, the game will feature the first mobile-exclusive cinematic story experience for the franchise. The series is no stranger to having mobile-based games. Mortal Kombat Mobile, which has amassed more than 150 million installs, is one of the top five most downloaded fighting games on iOS and Android.
“We are pushing the boundaries of Mortal Kombat to allow players to experience the franchise in new ways, while still staying true to its core visceral nature,” said Ed Boon, Chief Creative Officer, NetherRealm Studios. “With Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, we reimagined Mortal Kombat into a strategic team-based collection RPG with fast-paced, group melee combat that both new and existing fans can enjoy.”
At the moment, details on the game have yet to be revealed. However, players can sign up for updates on Mortal Kombat: Onslaught on the official website.
