Netmarble's popular action RPG, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is set to conclude its run this year. The official announcement on Netmarble forums confirmed the game's shutdown date: October 30th, 2024. In-app purchases have already been disabled, ceasing on June 26th, 2024.
Reasons for Closure:
King of Fighters ALLSTAR enjoyed a substantial six-year run, featuring numerous high-profile fighting game crossovers based on SNK's iconic King of Fighters series. Despite generally positive player reviews praising its animations and PvP, the developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt as a contributing factor to the shutdown. However, this is likely just one element of a larger picture. Optimization issues and occasional crashes also impacted the player experience in recent times. Despite these challenges, the game achieved millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store.
Players have approximately four months remaining to experience the game's legendary matches and engaging content before the servers shut down in October. The game is still available for download on the Google Play Store.
