ATLUS today announced that The King of Fighters XIII is now available at retailers across North America for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
“The King of Fighters XIII represents tremendous effort on the part of Atlus and developer SNK Playmore to deliver the finest, deepest KOF game ever,” stated Tim Pivnicny, Vice Present of Marketing and Sales at Atlus. “Building upon what was already a fantastic arcade fighter, Atlus and SNK Playmore have worked together and also with respected members of the KOF community to meticulously refine and balance the game. Moreover, a great deal of time was spent testing the game’s revamped netcode, ensuring players encounter the smoothest, most stable The King of Fighters online experience ever. From all the attention paid to further improving the game to the terrific pre-order bonus and competitive $49.99 MSRP, we truly view this project as a love letter to fans of the series. We are so thrilled to finally be able to put this highly anticipated new entry for such an esteemed series on store shelves and into the hands of its amazing community.”
