Get ready, AFK Journey fans! The game is about to dive into its first-ever crossover event, and it's bringing the magic of Fairy Tail with it. That's right, the beloved Japanese manga series by Hiro Mashima is crossing over into the 3D open-world RPG that is AFK Journey, promising an infusion of excitement and new adventures.

Who Are the Guests in AFK Journey’s First Crossover with Fairy Tail?

The crossover event is set to introduce two iconic characters from Fairy Tail: Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia. Both characters will join the game as part of the new Dimensional faction, bringing their unique flair and powers to the AFK Journey universe.

Natsu, known for his fiery personality and dragon-slaying abilities, is confirmed as an S-level character. His high-tier status reflects his powerful in-game potential, likely making him a challenging but rewarding addition to any player's roster. Lucy, on the other hand, comes in at A-level, suggesting she might be more accessible to players looking to enhance their team without the steep challenge of obtaining an S-level hero.

While the specific roles or classes for Natsu and Lucy haven't been detailed yet, their inclusion is poised to shake up the game's meta and enrich the gameplay experience. It'll be fascinating to see how they integrate with the existing factions and what impact they'll have on the game's dynamics.

When Is the Crossover Launching?

Mark your calendars! The AFK Journey x Fairy Tail collaboration is set to launch on Android on May 1st, 2025. Although the duration of the crossover event remains undisclosed, the developers have released an exciting trailer that you can watch below:

One of the highlights of this crossover is the 3D rendering of Fairy Tail characters, a departure from the flat anime-style images seen in other games. This will undoubtedly enhance the immersive experience for players within AFK Journey's expansive 3D open-world environment.

While you wait for the crossover, don't miss out on the ongoing events in AFK Journey. The Justice Descends event introduces the new Celestial Hero, Athalia, along with opportunities to collect Stellar Crystals and Temporal Essences. Additionally, the Dawnlight Revelry event offers even more rewards. You can explore these events by checking out AFK Journey on the Google Play Store.
