According to Kotaku, SNK has confirmed King of Fighters XII for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The last installment of King of Fighters (XI) hit Japan on June 22, 2006 and has yet to be released in the US. What’s unique about King of Fighters is that it mixes 2D shading on 3D characters and environments giving it a different art style compared to other games in genre.
SNK’s Overseas Marketing Manager Yoshihito Koyama stated that they plan to release the arcade version in Japan in late 2009 and then follow it up with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions in 2009 to 2010.
Stay tuned for more information.
