The King of Fighters AFK launches early access in Canada and Thailand for Android and iOS

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 Apple App Store. Early access players are guaranteed to recruit Mature from the Orochi Clan.

While the demise of King of Fighters Allstar may disappoint some, the arrival of King of Fighters AFK offers a fresh, retro RPG-style mobile experience based on the beloved fighting game franchise. NetMarble has confirmed that player progress from early access will carry over to the full release.

King of Fighters AFK brings classic characters to mobile in a 5v5 battle system. Players build decks and create formations for strategic combat.

Facing Stiff Competition

KoF AFK faces a challenge in winning back fans, especially considering its departure from the original series' style, unlike King of Fighters Allstar's successful crossovers (e.g., WWE).

The Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and the guaranteed Mature recruitment (for early access players) might attract some, but others might remain hesitant. The game aims to provide a relaxed, enjoyable experience for KoF fans.
