SNK has announced that The King of Fighters XV will be released in 2021, and while platforms were not confirmed, you can check out a teaser trailer for the game below. The news follows the release of The King of Fighters XIV Ultimate Edition for PS4 in Europe yesterday.
Speaking in a video message, producer Yasuyuki Oda commented:
The day we can reveal The King of Fighters XV has finally come! As you just saw in the trailer, there were many flashy and bombastic action scenes, but can you tell us a little bit more about how the game will play?
Eisuke Ogura, the game’s creative director, added:
Sure thing. We’re focusing on keeping the series’ staple of being fast-paced, while also adding elements to make it more exciting. We’re able to do things now for both sound and visuals that were impossible back when developing XIV, so we’re taking our time making sure each element is refined. Right now, we’re focusing on brushing up features and optimizing the game. Though I expect some obstacles to get in our way, we’re planning to have it ready to ship this year.
