Mai Shiranui Joins The King of Fighters AFK Roster

Authore: VioletUpdate:May 22,2026

  • The King of Fighters AFK Welcomes a Long-Awaited Fan-Favorite Character
  • Mai Shiranui Finally Arrives in Her Exclusive Pick-Up Event This Month
  • Additional Events Offer Power-Ups and Rewards Throughout October

It's often surprising how many game launches miss essential features, whether it's a simple quality-of-life option or a beloved character. Thankfully, The King of Fighters AFK is putting that right by introducing everyone's favorite flashy kunoichi, Mai Shiranui, in its latest update.

For fighting game veterans, Mai Shiranui needs no introduction. She's been a King of Fighters staple since her debut in the Fatal Fury series and gained such popularity that she even crossed over into the Street Fighter franchise early on.

Now in The King of Fighters AFK, you can recruit Mai to your team through the Mai Shiranui Pick-Up Event, running until October 15th. Concurrently, the [Fury] Synergy Pick-Up Summon Event offers increased rates for fighters with this synergy—many of whom are top-tier picks in our King of Fighters AFK tier list.

Meanwhile, the Happy Picnic Event runs until October 8th, giving you a chance to obtain the Legendary Pet, Terius.
