SEOUL, KOREA – OCT. 22, 2019 – Step into the arena with Netmarble! The company, in collaboration with SNK, has announced that its long-awaited and latest mobile action role-playing game (RPG) THE KING OF FIGHTERS ALLSTAR is now available for download on Google Play and the App Store. Based on the famous fighting game series THE KING OF FIGHTERS (KOF), players will collect and train their favorite fighters from across the entirety of the franchise from KOF’94 to KOFXIV, and experience the rich history of KOF on mobile platforms.

At launch, players can join in the fast-paced fighting and beat-em up action by battling through enemy waves, larger-than-life bosses, and rival teams across many game modes, including Story Mode, Time Attack Mode, Player vs. Player (PvP), and a real-time Tournament Mode.
