"King of Fighters AFK Early Access Now in Canada, Thailand for Mobile"

King of Fighters fans, it's time to celebrate and perhaps shed a tear. While we mourn the loss of The King of Fighters Allstar, there's new excitement on the horizon with The King of Fighters AFK now available in early access in Thailand and Canada.

Just a week after announcing pre-registration for both Android and iOS, residents in Thailand and Canada can now dive into this retro RPG-inspired mobile game. And don't worry about losing your progress; NetMarble has assured that your early access achievements will carry over to the full release.

The name says it all, but let's reiterate: The King of Fighters AFK brings your beloved characters from the iconic fighting game series to your mobile device. Assemble your team of unique fighters and strategize different formations for engaging 5v5 battles that hark back to the nostalgia of old-school gaming.

Early adopters in Thailand and Canada will be thrilled to receive Mature from the Orochi Clan as a guaranteed addition to their lineup, which should excite fans seeing Neo-Geo Pocket-inspired sprites of their favorite characters. However, the transition might still be tough for those still feeling the sting of Allstar's demise. Here's hoping KoF AFK can dispel those doubts and deliver a relaxing yet thrilling experience for fans.
