SNK has announced plans to revive a classic non-fighting game IP as part of a collaboration with AKIRA.
Speaking in a statement issued earlier today, SNK commented:
The company owns over 200 SNK-branded game contents, including Neo Geo, and is currently promoting revamping to revive and revive past IPs. As part of this effort, we have decided to collaborate with ARIKA, which has excellent game development capabilities and is familiar with our IP.

While the identity of the IP hasn’t been announced yet, the fact we know it’s not a fighting game has lead to speculation that it could be Metal Slug, which hasn’t seen a new entry in over 15 years with Metal Slug 7 for Nintendo DS. AKIRA, meanwhile, is best known as a support studio for Tekken 7 and Tekken 8, and also worked on Chocobo GP and Super Mario Bros. 35.
