The King of Fighters ALLSTAR is officially ending service
King of Fighters ALLSTAR to End Service in October 2024
Netmarble has announced the unexpected closure of its mobile beat 'em up ARPG, King of Fighters ALLSTAR, on October 30th, 2024. In-app purchases have already been disabled.
The game, which has been running for over six years and featured numerous collaborations with other fighting game franchises, is shutting down. The official announcement, made on Netmarble's forums, suggests a contributing factor is the depletion of characters from the King of Fighters franchise suitable for adaptation into the game. While this is likely not the sole reason, it offers some insight into the decision.
What's Next?
The closure of King of Fighters ALLSTAR unfortunately continues a trend of long-running mobile live-service games ending service. This highlights the challenges of maintaining these titles and suggests that even in the thriving mobile gaming market, financial sustainability remains a significant hurdle for some developers.
