The smartphone game KOF '98 UMOL is celebrating its 10th anniversary. A new anniversary-limited fighter, Ash, appearing in a form described as gone mad in a spiral of blood, has made his debut. The game is also running several concurrent events, including the 10th Anniversary Time Machine, Lucky 7, Lucky Festival, and Competition Grand Ceremony, which run through late August and early September.
The anniversary event introduces Ash in a new form, described in the announcement as a fighter gone mad in a spiral of blood. His strikes carry more intense power, with offensive strength that drives opponents into a desperate situation.
Alongside the fighter, the game opened the 10th Anniversary Time Machine, which records player battle history and breakthrough trajectories. Players can review arena results and personal growth while earning exclusive titles and commemorative items.
Two lottery-style events run on different schedules. Lucky 7, active from August 21 to August 28, rewards daily logins and mission clears with Universal Fragments at 50 and 70 percent completion. Lucky Festival, active from August 21 to September 4, is split into preparation, drawing, and announcement stages, with daily prize drawings for players holding Lucky Numbers.
