Did you enjoy Netmarble's beat 'em up game King of Fighters ALLSTAR? Unfortunately, the servers are closing this year. The official announcement appeared recently on Netmarble's forums, marking a disappointing end for fans.
Action RPG King of Fighters ALLSTAR Announces October 2024 Shutdown
The game will officially go offline on October 30th, 2024. Players hoping to spend any remaining in-game currency are out of luck - the in-game store was permanently closed on June 26th, 2024.
Why Is King of Fighters ALLSTAR Ending Service?
King of Fighters ALLSTAR had an impressive six-year run, featuring exciting crossovers with numerous fighting game franchises. Based on SNK's legendary fighting series - a pillar of the fighting game genre - the mobile title earned its place among fans.
User reviews generally praised the game's slick animations and competitive PvP gameplay. So what led to its closure? Developers suggested they may have exhausted potential fighter adaptations, though this likely wasn't the only factor behind the decision.
The game did face some challenges in recent times, including performance optimization problems and unexpected crashes that frustrated parts of the player base. Despite these issues, it maintained millions of downloads across both Google Play and the App Store throughout its lifespan.
For those who haven't tried it yet, there's still about four months left to experience the game's legendary combat scenarios. You can download it from the Google Play Store before servers terminate in October.
