So, we’re gettinga newStreet Fighter, and we’re gettinga newTekken— Time to complete the unholy trinity, right? Well, here you go, a brand newMortal Kombat! (mobile game). Currently in development at NetherRealm Studios,Mortal Kombat: Onslaughtwill launch on iOS and Android in 2023.
This brand new RPG, set within the hyper-violent world ofMK,will allow players to build up a team of their favorite kombatants, and embark upon a brand new, original storyline — a first for MK’s mobile gaming releases. Described as a collection (or “kollection”?) RPG, it sounds likeMortal Kombat: Onslaughtwill feature an abundance of goodies to gather, or likely — being a WB Games joint — buy.
“We are pushing the boundaries ofMortal Kombatto allow players to experience the franchise in new ways, while still staying true to its core visceral nature,” said Ed Boon, Chief Creative Officer of NetherRealm Studios. “WithMortal Kombat: Onslaught, we reimaginedMortal Kombatinto a strategic team-based collection RPG with fast-paced, group melee combat that both new and existing fans can enjoy.”
NRS did not release any trailer or screens from the new project, aside from some key splash art depictingMKlegends such as Raiden, Baraka, Jade, and, of course, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, battling it out in the plains of Outworld. I’m sure that NetherRealm and WB Games will be sure to ply us with more details and information as development continues.
