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, marks the end of a six-year journey for the title. The in-game store has already been closed since June 26th, 2024.
The reasons behind the closure remain somewhat unclear. While developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt from the extensive King of Fighters franchise, this is likely just one factor. Recent optimization issues and reported crashes may have also contributed to the decision. Despite these challenges, the game enjoyed considerable success, accumulating millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store. Players consistently praised the game's impressive animations and engaging PvP battles.
Players still interested in experiencing King of Fighters ALLSTAR have approximately four months remaining before the servers shut down. This provides ample opportunity to explore its legendary matchups and engaging gameplay before its October closure.
