Launched in July 2023, SNK vs. Capcom: SVC CHAOS features 36 fighters from both companies. SNK fields Fatal Fury mainstays like Mai Shiranui and Terry Bogard alongside Shiki (Samurai Shodown 64) and Mars People. Capcom has the likes of Ryu, Chun-Li, Demitri Maximoff (Darkstalkers) and Zero (Mega Man Zero). You can even immeidately play as secret Arcade characters, Athena and Red Arremer, from the outset.

The re-release also boasts numerous quality-of-life improvements and additions, including rollback netcode for online play, a hitbox viewer and a Gallery Mode for viewing over 80 pieces of artwork. Online lobbies for up to nine players are also available, and players can set up tournaments with various formats like single elimination, round-robin and more.

Ahead of the launch of The King of Fighters 14 later this year, we’ve received a brand new trailer for the game that shows us Team Mexico. Now, this team has something special about it that sets it apart from all other teams in the game- it’s led by a friggen dinosaur.

The figure, dressed as a dinosaur, is known as the King of Dinosaurs (in a game called King of Fighters… yes, these guys aren’t getting a whole lot of points for creativity here), and he’s ready to lead Team Mexico to fame and glory. His past remains a complete and total mystery, which you would expect rom a masked fighter, though some speculate that he may be fighting in the tournament due to something personal that happened to him once.

The King of Fighters 14 is due out exclusively on the PlayStation 4 on August 23. You can check out the trailer for Team Mexico below.

The King of Fighters 14 has received yet another brand new trailer showing off its combatants engaged in… well, combat. This newest trailer shows off the Fatal Fury team in this new trailer, which emphasizes the team and its individual members. We get to see the Andy and Terry Bogard in action, as well as Joe Higashi.

That aside, The Kig of Fighters 14 continues to look better with each new trailer, and this new one is no exception- while the initial reveal of the game going 3D was a bit of a shock, it’s undeniable that it has been polished up a whole lot since that first trailer.

In the west, The King of Fighters 14 is being published by Atlus. The game is going to launch exclusively on the PlayStation 4, on August 23 in North America, August 25 in Japan, and August 26 in Europe- so just about everyone should be able to play the newest entry in the long running fighting game series at the same time.

The latest entry in the long running King of Fighters series of fighting games – King of Fighters 14 – is due to come out exclusively on the PlayStation 4. The game marks a shift from the 2D style of fighting that the games have been known for into 3D fighting, which is causing equal parts trepidation and excitement among the fanbase.

If you fall into the latter group, then maybe you’ve been waiting for more new information on the game- so today’s new media blowout will probably be right up your alley then. A new trailer for the game, which you can see for yourself below, showed off more gameplay footage, also revealing three brand new characters – K, Benimaru Nikaido and Robert Garcia – in the process. You can check out a screenshot gallery showcasing all three of them below as well.

King of Fighters 14 is due out on the PlayStation 4 exclusively some time later this year. A western release hasn’t yet been confirmed, but it’s all but a given at this point.

SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters 14 will be out on PlayStation 4 this year and director Yasuyuuki Oda made sure to clarify to Famitsu (translation by Siliconera) that all 50 characters will be playable at launch.

“That’ll be fine. All 50 characters will be playable at launch. There will be numerous characters at launch, and we don’t plan on adding more bits at a time, so be sure to properly jot that down [laughs]. It wouldn’t be a KoF game with a small number of characters, after all.”

At this point, Oda isn’t sure about more characters being added after launch. “[DLC] will have to wait until we see how the 50 characters do after launch, so it has yet to be decided.”

Capcom’s Street Fighter 5 is planning to introduce more characters via DLC but it will allow players the ability to unlock them in-game using Fight Money. Alternatively, they can be purchased with real money using Zenny. What are your thoughts on KOF 14 having all of its characters playable at launch? Let us know in the comments.

Originally released in 2010 for arcades in Japan, King of Fighters XIII subsequently made its way to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2011. It even released for iOS in the same year, before heading to Android in 2012. Now we can look forward to the game releasing on Steam – for those fighting games on the PC, that is.

King of Fighters XIII is one of the more critically acclaimed games in the series, including elements from past KOF games and being closer in style to how the classic arcade games played. It fetched much critical acclaim including a few Game of the Year awards for its fighting system, gameplay and varied characters. If indeed it is coming to Steam, it would be interesting to see what SNK Playmore will add to lure in PC gamers.

ATLUS and developer SNK PLAYMORE today released the apatch intended to address various issues for The King of Fighters XIII

The game update, now available on PSN and coming soon to Xbox Live, addresses a number of issues, many of which negatively affected online gameplay experience (info as given by the devs):

• Ranked Match Filtering: One of the most requested additions, players may now set conditions for their opponent’s connection. When a player who doesn’t meet the standby conditions tries to enter the Ranked match, a warning message will be displayed and the match cancelled.
• Improved Filtering: Filtering functionality in general has seen dramatic improvements. Previously, certain connection data was not filtered sufficiently and the player had a chance of connecting to opponents with poor connection quality. Now, more aggressive filtering should ensure that players are only matched with opponents who meet their filter settings.
• Improved Connection Antenna: The computation behind the players’ connection antenna, the meter indicating the quality of a player’s connection, has been improved, resulting in a more accurate and consistent measurement.
• Temporarily Saved Custom Match Settings: Players may continue searching for opponents with the same settings as long as the player remains in the PLAYER MATCH/RANKED MATCH menu.
• Character-specific Bug Fixes: “NESTS-Style” Kyo and Iori with the Power of Flames no longer become unresponsive under certain circumstances.
• Additional refinements, fixes, and more!

ATLUS also today announced a limited time $10 price reduction, dropping the game to $39.99.

Atlus today released new information regarding the upcoming online patch for The King of Fighters XIII Patch Incoming, PS3 DLC To Get Delayed, the latest entry in the legendary fighting franchise, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

According to Atlus and developer SNK, the patch will seek to make the game’s network infrastructure more consistent for users, ensuring that the evaluation given connections is more accurate to the actual play experience. Moreover, the patch will introduce ranked host-side filtering, eliminating the frustration of match hosts unable to avoid matches with players with poor connections. In addition to a number of other improvements, the update will also address a number of rare glitches reported since the game’s release. No release date currently exists for the update, but Atlus reports that the developer is making every effort to release the patch as soon as possible.

Atlus also today revealed that the North American PlayStation Network release of NESTS Kyo has been delayed.

“We apologize to our PlayStation 3 system KOF XIII fans for the slight delay of the next downloadable character,” stated Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales at ATLUS. “In gratitude to our fans for their patience, we will be discounting the NESTS Kyo character to $2.99 for a limited time when it is finally released in the North American PlayStation Store on 1/10.”
