Netmarble's King Of Fighters ALLSTAR to Shut Down Soon

If you enjoyed playing Netmarble's action-packed beat 'em up, *King of Fighters ALLSTAR*, you might be disappointed to hear that it's set to shut down this year. The official announcement was recently made on Netmarble's forums, marking a sad end to an exciting game.

*King of Fighters ALLSTAR* will close its doors on October 30th, 2024. If you were planning to spend your in-game currency, you're out of luck as the in-game store ceased operations on June 26th, 2024.

Why Is King of Fighters ALLSTAR Shutting Down?

Having entertained players for over six years, *King of Fighters ALLSTAR* has been a powerhouse in the action RPG genre, featuring numerous high-profile crossovers within the fighting game community. It's built on the iconic *King of Fighters* series by SNK, which has a storied history in the world of fighting games.

Despite positive reviews and a fanbase that appreciated its slick animations and engaging PvP battles, the game faced challenges. Developers suggested they might have exhausted their roster of fighters to include, but it's likely there's more to the story. Recent issues with optimization and unexpected crashes didn't help, even though the game amassed millions of downloads across Google Play and the App Store.

If you haven't yet experienced *King of Fighters ALLSTAR*, you have about four months left to dive into its legendary matches. You can find it on the Google Play Store before the servers shut down in October.
