The King of Fighters AFK, a new mobile entry in the iconic fighting game franchise, is now available in early access for players in Thailand and Canada. Fans in these regions can download the retro RPG-inspired game from the Google Play Store or the iOS App Store. Progress made during early access will carry over to the full release, NetMarble has confirmed.
This latest mobile title features a roster of beloved characters from the King of Fighters series, allowing players to build diverse teams and engage in 5v5 battles. While it differs significantly from previous entries like King of Fighters Allstar (which included notable crossovers), KoF AFK offers a unique gameplay experience.
Early access players receive Mature, a powerful Orochi clan member, as a guaranteed addition to their team. However, the game faces the challenge of winning back fans potentially disillusioned by past mobile iterations. Its success hinges on delivering engaging, casual gameplay to satisfy the expectations of long-time fans and newcomers alike.
