Netmarble’s Beat 'Em Up King Of Fighters ALLSTAR Is Shutting Down Soon

Netmarble's popular fighting game, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is set to conclude its run this year. The official announcement on Netmarble's forums confirmed the game's closure on October 30th, 2024. In-app purchases have already been disabled since June 26th, 2024.

This news is disappointing for fans of the action RPG, which has enjoyed a successful six-year run, featuring numerous crossovers with other high-profile fighting games. Built upon the legacy of SNK's King of Fighters franchise, the game garnered positive reviews, praised for its impressive animations and engaging PvP battles.

While the developers alluded to a potential shortage of characters to adapt as a contributing factor, the exact reasons behind the shutdown remain unclear. The game did experience some recent technical challenges, including optimization issues and occasional crashes, which may have played a role. Despite these setbacks, King of Fighters ALLSTAR achieved millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store.

Players still have approximately four months to experience the game's legendary battles before the servers shut down in October. Download it from the Google Play Store and enjoy the remaining time.
