Netmarble's popular fighting game, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is set to conclude its run this October. The official announcement, made on Netmarble's forums, confirmed the game's shutdown on October 30th, 2024. In-app purchases have already been disabled, ceasing on June 26th, 2024.
The reasons behind this closure remain somewhat unclear. While the developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt from the extensive King of Fighters franchise, this is likely only part of the explanation. Recent optimization issues and game crashes may have also contributed to the decision.
Despite these challenges, King of Fighters ALLSTAR enjoyed considerable success, boasting millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store. Players consistently praised its smooth animations and engaging PvP battles.
Fans still wanting to experience the game have approximately four months remaining before the servers shut down. This provides ample opportunity to explore the legendary matchups and characters offered within King of Fighters ALLSTAR. Download the game from the Google Play Store before October 30th to enjoy one last round.
