LOS ANGELES – March 29, 2023 - Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, has released a new update for the popular mobile action role-playing game THE KING OF FIGHTERS ALLSTAR. Starting today, players can access new fighters, battle cards and various in-game events.

This new game update features two new playable fighters that players can choose for battle. The ever-seductive XV Mai Shiranui (Red Element /Defense type) fighter has a leader skill that increases Extreme Fighters’ ATK by a percentage and also increases Burn damage done by a percentage. Meanwhile, her special skill grants Mai the Kunoichi of Fire effect for a period upon use. Each stack of Kunoichi of Fire increases Mai’s ATK, Critical hit rate, Critical damage, and active skill damage, making her more dangerous the longer she’s on the field and a perfect unit to buff up with the rest of your party.

XV Kula Diamond (Purple Element/Defense type) also joins the fight in this new update. Her leader skill increases Extreme fighters’ Attack by a certain rate and increases Chill Damage by a percentage. Her special skill makes her immune to Stun, Freeze, and Darkness. When an active skill lands on enemies with the Brrr state, it freezes enemies and decreases defense by 100% for a certain time. It also casts a critical hit shield that absorbs damage for a period if attacked when HP has decreased to a certain rate. All of this combined makes her perfect to combine with other purple element fighters to make your team a bit more durable in the process.

New battle cards (Special/Option/Set) have been released for XV Shiranui and XV Kula Diamond. XV Shiranui’s card increases attack speed for a certain time after using a skill, while XV Kula Diamond’s card increases critical damage for a period after using a skill.

Players can now enjoy various in-game events and obtain special rewards including:

50. Team Relay Dungeon: Alexandrite: Players can form two different teams of three players and attack Alexandrite, which has two different elements. When reaching a certain damage threshold, rewards will be distributed including valuable Common EX Memory items that can be used to awaken Extreme fighters.
     
50. Rush Dungeon: Mai Love Parade: Players can blitz through various levels to obtain event coins, with the ability to acquire items such as set cards.
     
50. Spring Celebration Puzzle Event: Puzzle pieces will be rewarded for playing various modes in KING OF FIGHTERS ALLSTAR. Once the puzzle is complete, it can be exchanged for a special item to decorate your collection room.

THE KING OF FIGHTERS ALLSTAR boasts fast-paced fighting action as players battle through waves of enemies, giant bosses, and rival fighter teams. The excitement is paired with cutting edge graphics, bold colors, and lightning-fast animations. In addition, this game features all of KOF’s classic fighters from ’94 to XV, with more than 130 fighters available to collect, along with more to come with seasonal events, collaborations with popular IP such as, SAMURAI SHODOWN, Seven Knights, and more.
