Netmarble's popular action RPG, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, is closing its doors this October. The announcement, made recently on Netmarble's official forums, confirmed the game's shutdown on October 30th, 2024. In-game purchases have already been disabled, ceasing on June 26th, 2024.

The reasons behind the closure remain somewhat unclear. While the developers hinted at a potential shortage of characters to adapt from the extensive King of Fighters franchise, other factors likely contributed to the decision. The game, despite enjoying considerable success with millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store, faced recent challenges including optimization issues and reported crashes. These technical difficulties, coupled with other unspecified factors, ultimately led to the game's closure.

Despite its impending shutdown, King of Fighters ALLSTAR still offers players approximately four months to experience its legendary fighting game crossovers and engaging PvP battles. Fans can still download the game from the Google Play Store before the servers go offline in October.
