Iconic Kunoichi Mai Shiranui Returns to KOF AFK in New Summer Form
Mai Shiranui, The King of Fighters' fiery kunoichi, is back in The King of Fighters AFK with a stunning new summer look. Fans can now recruit the "Aqua Splash" style Mai, a Legendary seasonal fighter making her debut as part of the game's ongoing Summer Festival.
This isn't just a costume swap. Aqua Splash Mai brings updated splash art, enhanced moves, and improved combat style, retaining her signature elegant yet powerful ninja arts with [Rush] synergy. Her arrival kicks off a dedicated event from July 9 to July 22, alongside a [Rush] Synergy Pick-Up for other fighters.
The Summer Festival is packed with more. Players can dive into the Kensou's Dumpling Delivery mini-game, chase the Legendary Supporter Lenny Creston in the Lucky Elpy event, or unlock new Legendary pets Umine and Belly Bear during the Splash Splash Vacation. Don't forget the Hot Summer! Check-In event, offering valuable login rewards through August 19. It's a busy summer for KOF AFK.
