LOS ANGELES – JUNE 28, 2022 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has launched a new game update for their popular mobile action role-playing game THE KING OF FIGHTERS ALLSTAR. Starting today, players can experience exciting new content including a new playable fighter, battle cards, events and more.

This latest game update adds XV Krohnen (Purple Element / Defense Type) as a new playable fighter. His attributes include an [Extreme] Fighter’s ATK increase of 40% and a Critical rate increase by 12%. Additionally, his Special Skill has several traits which include immunity to Petry and Darkness. He recovers 15% of HP when attacked with Ultimate Move (Cooldown:10 seconds). XV Krohnen is also immune to DMG for 3 seconds when HP is 30% or less (Cooldown: 12 seconds) and has 30% chance to become immune to DMG for 4 seconds when attacked (Cooldown: 15 seconds).

SS Kyo can now be upgraded to EX (Yellow Element / Attack Type) via the Change Up Kit from the Exchange Shop. When the fighter is upgraded, this will increase Active Skill DMG to enemies affected by Burn or Starlight from 60% to 70% while decreasing Active Skill Cooldown by 0.3 second upon landing a hit on a burned target.

New battle cards have been added including the Krohnen Special Card, which offers a Special Skill to the fighter when equipped. The card increases ATK by 2%, Active Skill DMG by 4.5%, Critical DMG by 6%, and recovers HP by 8% upon usage. Additional new battle cards include a card set for Krohnen, and option cards will also be added.

Several new in-game events will be available including:

• - XV Krohnen Event Codex - Celebrating the launch of XV Krohnen, players can receive rewards with each mission cleared.
