Netmarble has officially launched phase two of Early Access for The King of Fighters AFK in Canada, Indonesia, and the Philippines, offering fans of the legendary franchise an early look at the game’s expansive idle RPG mechanics ahead of its global release. Following the success of the initial test, this updated phase delivers a richer experience packed with content, from deep team-building strategies to extensive progression systems.

This latest update features a total of 113 collectible fighters, including 36 Legendary Heroes, 38 Supporters, and 17 Pets—each designed to enhance your squad’s power and synergy. Beyond collection, players can dive into 10 PvE dungeons, conquer 9,000 campaign stages, and test their skills across 15 distinct PvP modes, ensuring a dynamic and engaging gameplay loop.

To mark the occasion, Netmarble is rewarding early logins with generous bonuses. Simply signing in grants players a Legendary Fighter—Ryo Sakazaki. Day one offers Li Xiangfei, day two brings Momoko, and continued check-ins unlock valuable resources like Rubies and Summon Tickets, helping new teams grow stronger fast.

For players focused on team synergy, the current Pick-Up Summon highlights Mai Shiranui and Chizuru Kagura—two powerful fighters who share the Fury trait, unlocking enhanced combat performance when used together.

Don’t miss out on limited-time events such as the Lucky Elpy Event and Elpy’s Dream Land, both offering additional opportunities to earn exclusive rewards and upgrade your roster. Meanwhile, global pre-registration remains active, providing up to 3,000 free summon draws and a guaranteed acquisition of Vice, the Orochi-powered secretary, upon release.

If you're in an Early Access region, now is the ideal time to jump in and start assembling your ultimate KOF team. For more details, visit the official The King of Fighters AFK website.
