Mortal Kombat: Onslaught gameplay

Unlike other entries in the Mortal Kombat franchise, Onslaught is not a traditional 2D fighter. Instead, it’s a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena game.

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.”
