The King of FIghters AFK announced, bringing an idle-twist to the classic fighting series

  • Netmarble’s next dalliance with the KOF IP features Idle RPG mechanics
  • The new trailer was released today at SNK’s TGS booth
  • It features Neo Geo Pocket Color-inspired pixel artwork

As a seasoned gamer with decades worth of experience under my belt, I must say that the gaming industry never ceases to surprise me. Netmarble’s latest offering, The King of Fighters AFK, is an intriguing twist on a classic IP that I’ve grown up playing. The pixel artwork harks back to the Neo Geo Pocket Color era, which brings a nostalgic charm to this idle RPG.

Netmarble has unveiled The King of Fighters AFK during their Tokyo Game Show appearance, offering a brand-new trailer alongside a few preliminary insights straight from the event.

Netmarble has unveiled their new addition to SNK’s iconic fighting series, The King of Fighters, with an intriguing twist. This time around, it appears The King of Fighters AFK will incorporate elements of an idle role-playing game (RPG). Essentially, this means the game continues to advance even when you’re not actively playing or have stepped away from your device, allowing the game to run in the background.

Additionally, information about it is scarce at this point, but feel free to check out the teaser trailer below. We will be sure to provide updates as soon as there are any new developments, so stay tuned and visit our site regularly.

In more recent times, it’s not the first King of Fighters game that Netmarble has managed for mobile; we’ve already seen King of Fighters ALLSTAR and Survival City handled by JoyCity earlier this year. So, it’s clear that this intellectual property is no stranger to mobile gaming platforms.

Further information is scarce, but the press release emphasized the pixel art aesthetic and made it clear that gathering fresh characters will play a significant role in the overall gameplay experience.

In this fresh take on a popular franchise, beloved characters from ‘The King of Fighters’ series are given a nostalgic pixel art makeover, reminiscent of THE KING OF FIGHTERS R-2 for Neo Geo Pocket Color. The game has been designed to emulate the graphics of THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98. Furthermore, THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK assembles key characters from the series, offering fans an enjoyable character collection experience. Its distinctive combat system sets it apart from other games in the King of Fighters series, adding a layer of strategy and character development excitement.

Rest assured, we will keep you updated about any new updates or announcements from the Tokyo Game Show this year. You can expect regular communication regarding any significant developments.
