Netmarble's popular action RPG, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is set to conclude its run on October 30th, 2024. This announcement, recently made on Netmarble's official forums, has disappointed many fans. The in-game store was already closed on June 26th, 2024, ending the opportunity for further in-app purchases.
The reasons behind the closure remain somewhat unclear. While the developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt from the extensive King of Fighters franchise, this likely isn't the sole factor. Optimization issues and occasional crashes in recent times may have also contributed to the decision.
Despite these challenges, King of Fighters ALLSTAR enjoyed a successful six-year run, boasting millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store. Players consistently praised its impressive animations and engaging PvP battles.
Players still interested in experiencing the game have approximately four months remaining to enjoy its legendary fighting game crossovers and iconic matches. Download it from the Google Play Store before the servers shut down in October.
