SNK and Netmarble have released a new update for THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK featuring a new “Champions Cup” large-scale PvP mode, new fighters Orochi Yashiro and Haohmaru, and various in-game events. 

The Champions Cup PvP mode puts three teams of seven Fighters against each other every weekend in THE KING OF FIGHTERS AFK. Matches are limited to players ranked within the top 50 in Ranked Battle, and players who achieve high rankings can earn exclusive rewards. 

Armed with the Cosmos Attribute and the Special synergy, Orochi Yashiro offers signature skills like “Odoru Daichi” and “Barren Earth,” making him a formidable fighter. A Pick-Up Event for Orochi Yashiro will run through May 27 that doubles his appearance rate through Premium Summon. What’s more, the Red Rose Night 14-Day Check-In Event will give away over 10,000 Premium Points. 

Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown arrives as another Pick-Up Fighter. Haohmaru is associated with the Fury synergy and comes with the “Ougi Kogetsuzan” and “Tenha Hadansen” signature skills. The [Fury] Synergy Fighter Summon Event will be available until May 27 with higher summon rates.

The Vibrant Spring Special Check-In Event is now live and offers several rewards, including Pick-Up Fighter Selection Ticket, Unique Pet Summon Box, and DNA. What’s more, a new mini-game called “Chang Koehan’s Iron Ball Fight” lets players earn Rubies daily by clearing waves of enemies in fast-paced battles. 

Additional events include Lucky Elpy (May 18 – May 22), where players can obtain the Legendary Supporter Hanzo Hattori, and Book of Adventures (May 21 – June 3), featuring the Legendary pets Hedgemaru, Haohmaru’s companion pet, and Arma.
