Netmarble is adding a new title to its portfolio, and this one is a real-time action PVP game. Titled The King of Fighters Arena, it offers fast-paced fighting and arcade style combat with simple controls. This is the studio’s follow-on to King of Fighters ALLSTAR.
If you’re a fan of the franchise, then you’ll likely be excited about this upcoming game. When it is officially launched, players can get access to every character from the entire series. Of course, there are the usual in-game updates to expand the roster further; look forward to special collaborations and events as well.
The King of Fighters Arena will have a feature where players can exchange in-game tokens to MBX. Yes, it’s one of those blockchain-integrated features. But if the results of Tokyo Game Show are to be a gauge, the game has received positive feedback for its 1:1 PvP battles.
Pre-registration for The King of Fighters Arena starts September 28 and those who can will get special rewards and access to exclusive events. The game is launching on Android, iOS, and PC, and comes with multi-language support, including English, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and French, among others. Expect more information about this game in the coming days.
