Pre-register Now for the THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK
Netmarble has confirmed that THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK will launch worldwide on September 4, bringing the legendary SNK franchise to a new audience in a fresh format. The game has already attracted strong interest with over 1.5 million players pre-registered ahead of release.
Fans who pre-register through the official website, Google Play, or the App Store will be among the first to jump in at launch and will also receive exclusive rewards. These include up to 3,000 Summon Tickets and the Unique-grade fighter Vice, ensuring a strong start. On top of that, the first summon guarantees one of eight popular Legendary-grade fighters, giving every player a powerful ally from the outset.
The title has already built momentum through Early Access testing in Canada, Indonesia, and the Philippines since May. Player feedback praised the game’s faithful adaptation of The King of Fighters universe, retro-inspired pixel visuals, and approachable mechanics that make it enjoyable for both long-term fans and newcomers.
At its core, THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK reimagines the franchise’s iconic fighters in nostalgic pixel art reminiscent of THE KING OF FIGHTERS R-2 on the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Players can assemble their favorite team of characters, strategize with different formations, and dive into dynamic 5v5 battles. The combination of collectible team-building and fast-paced combat is designed to capture the essence of the beloved fighting series while making it accessible in idle RPG form.
With its mix of classic style, modern gameplay, and generous rewards, THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK is shaping up to be a must-play mobile experience when it officially launches this September.
