Build your dream team of iconic fighters from various SNK series
All-Star Awakening is a card-battle RPG officially authorized by SNK, bringing together fan-favorite characters from popular IPs like The King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown, and Metal Slug. The story takes place in the world of The King of Fighters, so if you’re a long-time SNK fan, you’ll surely love it.

Here, you get to team up with legendary fighters like Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui, Ukyo Tachibana, Nakoruru, and over 50 others to form your dream team. I also appreciate how the game focuses on fair progression through its lossless inheritance and conscientious development, ensuring every fighter of yours reaches top-level.
Players can engage in 1v1 battles and explore interactive zones
What really caught my attention is the way it pays tribute to classic arcade battles with 1v1 combat. Thanks to this, we can pull powerful punches, furious attacks, and flashy ultimate moves that bring back the thrill of old-school fighting titles.
The dev also promises smooth gameplay and visually striking combos, which I’m definitely waiting to experience. All in all, the game genuinely looks fun to me, especially after THE KOF AFK. Built on the Unity Engine, it offers a detailed 3D fighting city where classic locations act like interactive battle zones.
All-Star Awakening, set to launch on iOS in China this year. You can now pre-register for the game via the App Store. According to the App Store’s listing, we can expect the game to release on December 31, 2025. There are no details yet on Android, so stay tuned!
