KOF'98 UM OL Adds Dandadan's Momo and Jiji in Second Collaboration
The event leans on login bonuses and free character unlocks rather than a new character alone, which points to bringing back lapsed players from the first Dandadan run as much as drawing new ones.

The SNK-licensed mobile game KOF'98 UM OL runs a limited collaboration with the Dandadan TV anime from October 23 to November 6, 2026. Momo and Jiji join the roster as limited characters. Okarun and Aira, who appeared in the first collaboration, return. Players can earn Jiji through collaboration events, and a login bonus gives a collaboration-limited icon frame on the seventh day.
The collaboration story runs on a "Dimensional Rift": unknown energy tears the boundary of the original world, abnormal waves hit the KOF'98 UM OL fighting stage, and the Dandadan cast crosses over with them. Momo and Jiji are the new additions, built on the game's battle system. Okarun and Aira return from the first collaboration.
The event runs October 23 at 05:00 to November 6 at 23:59, 2026. Jiji can be unlocked for free by playing collaboration events, and the seventh-day login bonus gives a collaboration-limited icon frame. Further details are promised through official social media.
