Netmarble to Shut Down King Of Fighters ALLSTAR

Did you enjoy playing Netmarble's thrilling beat 'em up game, King of Fighters ALLSTAR? Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye, as the game is set to shut down later this year. The official announcement was made on the Netmarble forums, and it's certainly a disappointing development for fans.

King of Fighters ALLSTAR, the action-packed RPG, will close its doors on October 30, 2024. If you were planning to use your in-game currency, you're out of luck—the in-game store closed on June 26, 2024.

Why Is King of Fighters ALLSTAR Shutting Down?

After a robust run of over six years, King of Fighters ALLSTAR has been a powerhouse in the mobile gaming world. It leveraged the iconic King of Fighters series from SNK, a legend in the fighting game genre, and featured exciting crossovers with other high-profile fighting games.

The game received positive feedback for its stunning animations and engaging PvP battles. However, despite its success, the developers hinted at a possible shortage of new fighters to introduce. This might be part of the reason for the shutdown, though it's likely there are other factors at play behind the scenes.

King of Fighters ALLSTAR has faced its share of challenges, including optimization issues and unexpected crashes, which frustrated some players. Nevertheless, the game still managed to amass millions of downloads on both Google Play and the App Store.

If you haven't experienced King of Fighters ALLSTAR yet, you have approximately four months to dive into its legendary matches. Be sure to check it out on the Google Play Store before the servers shut down in October.
