Netmarble's popular fighting game, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is officially shutting down on October 30th, 2024. This news, recently posted on Netmarble's forums, comes as a surprise to many fans. The in-game store has already been closed since June 26th, 2024.
The closure of King of Fighters ALLSTAR, after over six years of service, is a significant event for the mobile gaming community. The game, based on SNK's iconic King of Fighters franchise, enjoyed considerable success, boasting millions of downloads and positive reviews praising its smooth animations and engaging PvP battles.
While the developers hinted at a potential lack of new fighters to adapt as a contributing factor, the actual reasons behind the shutdown remain unclear. Recent optimization issues and game crashes likely also played a role in the decision.
Players still have approximately four months to experience King of Fighters ALLSTAR before the servers go offline in October. Download the game from the Google Play Store and enjoy its legendary battles while you still can.
