The King of Fighters AFK is now available for early access in Thailand and Canada! Fans in these regions can download the game immediately from the Google Play Store or the iOS App Store. Early access players are guaranteed to recruit Mature from the Orochi Clan.
While the previous mobile title, King of Fighters Allstar, is no longer active, this new retro RPG-style game offers a fresh take on the franchise. Netmarble has confirmed that player progress will transfer to the full release.
King of Fighters AFK brings beloved characters to mobile in a 5v5 battle system. Build your team, strategize formations, and enjoy the classic beat-'em-up action.
Facing a Challenging Market
KoF AFK faces stiff competition. Unlike its predecessor, which featured popular crossovers (like WWE), this title ventures further from the original fighting game formula.
The game's Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and the guaranteed addition of Mature (a powerful Orochi clan member) might appeal to some fans. However, given past disappointments, convincing skeptical players will be a significant challenge. The hope is that KoF AFK will offer a relaxing, enjoyable experience for fans.
