The Most Informative Mortal Kombat Source on the Web

The next mobile Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, was announced only two weeks ago and is scheduled for a release in 2023 for Android and iOS mobile devices. The game is a departure from the familiar fighting game formula of the franchise and is described as a collection role-playing game (RPG).

Even though there are at least several months until the official release of the game, someone at Netherrealm Studios/WB Games made (for short amount of time) an early build of Mortal Kombat: Onslaught available on the Android store. This happened most probably by mistake which means you don't really want to be this person right now. As you can guess the brief moment was enough for people to grab it, play it and upload countless videos online, from the opening cinematic, to the available story mode chapters, to gameplay to, ... well everything. We are however, not here to talk about all the leaked footage, you know where to find it if you want.

We are here, to have a look at a more official information, currently available online. And by official I mean the information from the Android store which is still online, days after the leak happened. We have characters, information and a lot of screenshots. Don't expect us to comment or to spoil anything from the leaked videos. So, lets have a look:

Characters
To list all characters that are going to be in the game doesn't make much of a sense. It is a mobile game, everyone is going to join at some point. Here are however the characters visible on the available screenshots: Sonya, Sub-Zero, Shao Kahn, Scorpion, Jax, Johnny Cage, Kitana, Liu Kang, Raiden, Shang Tsung, Noob Saibot, Eron Black, Fujin, Jade, Baraka, Frost, Goro, Quan Chi, Shinnok, Kung Lao, Skarlet,

In addition to these, there are two characters that we do not recongnise: a female blue ninja, and a male gray ninja.

You will be able to equip your characters with different gear items.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Warner Bros. Games today announced Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a new collection role-playing game (RPG) launching globally in 2023 for mobile devices. Developed and co-published by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught will feature the first mobile-exclusive cinematic story experience for the franchise, where players must build a team of fighters from a vast roster of characters – and unleash them in massive real-time group battles to stop a dark and dangerous threat from wreaking havoc across the realms.

This title will be the newest mobile entry for the Mortal Kombat franchise since the release of Mortal Kombat Mobile, which has amassed more than 150 million installs and is one of the top five most downloaded fighting games on iOS and Android. Mortal Kombat is also celebrating a major milestone this month with their 30th anniversary – a testimony to the enduring popularity and critical acclaim of this legendary franchise.

“Mortal Kombat is a legendary franchise and pop culture phenomenon, and it continues to engage players and advance the fighting genre across multiple platforms,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Games. “Mortal Kombat: Onslaught is a testament to why Mortal Kombat has been a top gaming franchise for over 30 years, as the NetherRealm team continues to innovate and bring new gameplay to fans.”

“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.”

In July of last year, we reported you on several sales milestone that the Mortal Kombat series has achieved. These news confirmed at the time that Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate has reached 12 million copies sold, also that Mortal Kombat XL is just right above it in sales, as well as that the Mortal Kombat Mobile app has reached 138 million downloads, and overall, the series has sold 73 million copies, at which point it was already the best selling fighting game franchise of all time.

A few days ago, Warner Bros. Games have sent a new press release in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the MK franchise, in which the sales stats have been updated and showcase new millstones. As of right now, MK11U has sold 15 million copies, MK Mobile has massed more than 150 million downloads, and the franchise has sold more than 79 million copies overall, taking it's all time best-selling fighting game franchise status to an even greater height.

While it isn't clear if MKXL still got more copies sold than MK11U or the tides have been turned to the latter's favor, a milestone of 15 million copies sold is unquestionably gigantic, especially considering that the fighting game genre is a very niche genre in general, and shows that MK11U is in an amazing place, over 3 and half years later after release. And regardless what are the sales numbers for MKXL, this game has proven it's success as well and to a insanely high degree.

As we can see, the series is in a fantastic place, and we can all just imagine where NetherRealm Studios/Warner Bros. Games will take the series from here. These are huge milestones indeed, and regardless what the next Mortal Kombat game will bring to the table, the future looks as bright as it possibly be. And if it does look dark to you, it's only because of the violence, blood and gore that only Mortal Kombat can bring in.
