Mass Layoffs Hit Mortal Kombat Developer NetherRealm

Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm has laid off its mobile team. While it's unclear how many employees were affected, the number is reportedly more than 50.

Several now-former employees posted on LinkedIn about being laid off from NetherRealm. A quality assurance analyst said, "Unfortunately, NetherRealms mobile team was shut down. A ton of very talented people were put out of work. We had live services on multiple titles such as Mortal Kombat Mobile, Injustice 2, and Mortal Kombat Onslaught."

An animator also said, "It hurts me to announce I've been laid off from NetherRealm Studios after about 10 years of working there." GameSpot has reached out to WB Games for comment.
