As a long-time gamer and follower of the gaming industry, I can’t help but feel disheartened by the recent news that NetherRealm’s mobile team has been laid off. The impact of this decision will undoubtedly be felt not just within the company, but also by the gaming community.
NetherRealm, the company behind Mortal Kombat, has let go of its mobile division. The exact number of employees who lost their jobs is undisclosed, but reports suggest it’s over 50 people.
Several ex-employees of NetherRealm have shared on LinkedIn that they were let go from the company. A QA analyst expressed sadness over the closure of NetherRealm’s mobile team, resulting in the unemployment of many skilled individuals. We had been maintaining live services for multiple games under NetherRealm, including Mortal Kombat Mobile, Injustice 2, and Mortal Kombat Onslaught.
An animator at NetherRealm Studios expressed sadness as he shared the news of his termination after over a decade of service with the company. We have contacted WB Games for a statement.
I’ve noticed a troubling trend in the video game industry over the last few years. Even major studios like Ubisoft and smaller ones such as Tales of Kenzara: Zau’s Surgent Studios have had to let go of large numbers of employees. It’s disheartening to see this happen within a community I’m passionate about.
As a gamer, I’ve had the chance to explore various versions of Mortal Kombat on my mobile device. Back in 2015, I downloaded Mortal Kombat Mobile for free. It’s an engaging mix of fighting and card-battling elements that brought me closer to the Mortal Kombat X experience. More recently, in 2023, I discovered Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, another free mobile offering. However, this one is quite different from its predecessors – it’s a multiplayer online battle arena game, which means I engage in real-time battles with other players, creating a unique and dynamic gaming experience that sets it apart from the traditional Mortal Kombat fighting games.
