King of Fighters ALLSTAR Closing Down, Netmarble Announces

Netmarble's popular action RPG, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is closing its doors this October. The announcement, made on the official Netmarble forums, confirmed the game's shutdown on October 30th, 2024. In-game purchases have already been disabled, ending on June 26th, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain somewhat unclear. While the developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt from the extensive King of Fighters franchise, this likely isn't the sole factor. Recent optimization issues and game crashes may have also played a role in the decision.

Despite these challenges, King of Fighters ALLSTAR enjoyed a successful six-year run, boasting millions of downloads and positive player feedback praising its smooth animations and competitive PvP modes. Fans still have approximately four months to experience the game's legendary fighters and intense battles before the servers shut down.
