SNK Corporation has announced the founding of KOF Studio, a new internal division dedicated to the development of fighting video games. The stated goal is to “proudly carry on the thirty-year legacy of SNK fighting games, while creating a new revolution”. Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, The King of Fighters and many other SNK titles have enthralled gamers around the world since their historic debut in the 1990s. The 30th anniversary of The King of Fighters coincides with another milestone: the launch of the all-new KOF Studio.
KOF Studio is committed to preserving the illustrious legacy of SNK’s iconic fighting game IPs, while guiding their evolution into the future. The development team’s past work includes hit titles such as The King of Fighters XV, Samurai Shodown (2019), SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, and The King of Fighters XIV. Currently, the studio is busy developing Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves and a new action RPG set in the Samurai Shodown universe.
