KOF Allstars AFK: Early Access Now Live in Canada & Thailand

The King of Fighters AFK: Early Access Launches in Thailand and Canada!

King of Fighters fans in Thailand and Canada can now experience the latest mobile installment, The King of Fighters AFK, currently available in early access on Google Play and the iOS App Store. Pre-registration concluded last week, paving the way for this retro RPG-inspired title. NetMarble assures players that progress made during early access will carry over to the full release.

This new mobile entry offers a unique twist on the classic fighting game franchise. Players build teams of iconic characters, strategizing diverse formations for engaging 5v5 battles.

Rugal's Absence

King of Fighters AFK faces a challenge in recapturing the hearts of fans, particularly given the discontinuation of King of Fighters Allstar. Unlike its predecessor, which featured popular crossovers (e.g., WWE), AFK ventures further from the original series' core gameplay.

However, the game incorporates Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired character sprites, and early access players receive Mature, a powerful Orochi clan member, as a guaranteed recruit. Whether this will be enough to sway skeptical fans remains to be seen.

This new offering aims to provide a more relaxed, strategic experience for KoF enthusiasts. To see how it stacks up against other mobile fighters, check out our list of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android.
