KOF Arena debuts early access in Canada, Thailand on Android, iOS

The King of Fighters AFK is now available in early access! Thai and Canadian players can download it today from the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. Early access players are guaranteed to recruit Mature from the Orochi Clan.

While the fate of King of Fighters Allstar remains uncertain, King of Fighters AFK offers a fresh, retro RPG-inspired mobile experience. NetMarble has confirmed that player progress will carry over to the full release.

This new title features iconic King of Fighters characters in a 5v5 battle system. Build your team and strategize for victory.

A Different Approach

King of Fighters AFK faces a challenge in winning back fans. Unlike King of Fighters Allstar, which included popular crossovers, AFK takes a different genre approach.

However, the game boasts Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites and guarantees Mature (a prominent Orochi clan member) for early access players. This might entice some fans, especially those disappointed by previous mobile entries.

Whether King of Fighters AFK will succeed remains to be seen. But for those seeking a more casual fighting game experience, it's worth a look. Check out our list of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android to see how it stacks up against the competition.
