‘The King Of Fighters XIV’ Gets Two New Characters And A New Publisher!

If you’ve been following the progress of The King Of Fighters XIV, you’ll know that this is looking to be a huge departure from the previous entry in the long running fighting game series, both visually, and mechanically. Now, we’re learning that publishing duties will get shaken up as well, since Atlus will be bringing SNK Playmore’s upcoming title to the West.

Promising over 50 characters out of the box, (as in before DLC. Take notes, Capcom!), a revamped netcode that will support three on three matches for a total of six players in the same match, online mentoring that will pair high ranking players with low ranking ones to teach new players the basics, a story mode, and new mechanics that aim to please veterans and new players alike, and we have one of the most ambitious fighters in a long time. With Atlus taking the helm as opposed to SNK publishing it themselves, this also means we’re more likely to get the game more exposure through the niche publisher’s dedicated fanbase.

If that wasn’t enough of a reason to be excited, we were also introduced to two brand new fighters who will be making their debuts in this fourteenth entry. Check out their debut trailer below and let us know what you think.
