NetherRealm’s next game is Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a collection role-playing game for Android and iOS in the vein of free-to-play gacha games like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Marvel Future Fight, and Pokémon Masters EX.
The next Mortal Kombat isn’t a traditional fighting game. Developer NetherRealm Studios’ next project is a spinoff called Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, which the studio and publisher Warner Bros. Games described as a new “collection role-playing game” that’s bound for mobile devices in 2023.
According to a news release, Mortal Kombat: Onslaught will let players build a team of fighters and battle in “massive real-time group battles.” The Mortal Kombat series has a lengthy list of playable characters — and no shortage of side characters who could join them — so a spinoff in the vein of free-to-play collection games like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Marvel Future Fight, and Pokémon Masters EX seems like a good fit to exploit that deep roster (and plenty of existing MK character variations).
