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.

Following last week's pre-registration launch, Netmarble's retro RPG-inspired mobile title is finally here. Your progress will carry over to the full release, so start building your team now!

King of Fighters AFK brings your favorite characters from the classic beat-'em-up franchise to mobile devices. Assemble your team of unique fighters and create strategic 5v5 formations for nostalgic action.

Facing Stiff Competition

KoF AFK faces a challenge in winning back fans, especially after the discontinuation of King of Fighters Allstar and its successful crossovers (like the WWE collaboration). This new entry shifts further from the original series' genre.

While some fans will appreciate the Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and the guaranteed Mature recruitment, others might remain hesitant. Hopefully, KoF AFK will deliver enjoyable, casual gameplay.
