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

The King of Fighters AFK is now available in early access for players in Thailand and Canada! Fans in these regions can download the game immediately from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Early access players are guaranteed to recruit Mature, a powerful Orochi Clan member.

While the previous mobile title, King of Fighters Allstar, is no longer supported, this new installment offers a fresh take on the franchise. This retro RPG-inspired game features 5v5 battles using a deck of your favorite King of Fighters characters. Netmarble has confirmed that player progress from early access will carry over to the full release.

A Different Kind of Fight

King of Fighters AFK faces a challenge in winning back fans. Unlike King of Fighters Allstar, which included popular crossovers (such as with WWE), this new game adopts a significantly different genre.

However, the game incorporates Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired character sprites, and early access players receive Mature as a guaranteed recruit. Whether this will be enough to satisfy long-time fans remains to be seen. The hope is that King of Fighters AFK will provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience for fans.
