KOF AFK Opens Early Access in Canada, Thailand

The King of Fighters AFK is now available in early access for players in Thailand and Canada! Download it today 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 sadden some fans, the arrival of this new mobile title offers a fresh perspective. This retro RPG-inspired game, available after a successful pre-registration period, features classic King of Fighters characters in a 5v5 battle system. NetMarble has confirmed that progress made during early access will carry over to the full release.

A Different Approach

King of Fighters AFK faces a challenge in winning back fans. Unlike its predecessor, which boasted impressive crossovers (like the WWE), this title ventures further from the original fighting game format.

The game's Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and the guaranteed addition of Mature might entice some players. However, past disappointments could make it a tough sell for some. Hopefully, this relaxed, strategic take on the franchise will prove to be a satisfying experience.
