Announced at Tokyo Game Show, The King of Fighters XIV will bring its cast of familiar SNK franchise characters to a new console generation, though few details regarding the upcoming series revamp are known at the moment.
In an interesting move, “King of Fighters 14″ will be built with a 3D game engine instead of the 2D one that fans have gotten used to.
“This brand new KOF numbered series title features high-quality 3D visuals, however staying true to the gameplay roots of the series”, says SNK Playmore.

The last “King of Fighters” game with 3D graphics was 2005’s “King of Fighters: Maximum Impact” for PlayStation 2. The game was released for Taito Type X and PS2. The game was originally developed for SNK Playmore’s arcade hardware, until it switched over to the Atomiswave arcade board in 2004. While the game has been confirmed for the PlayStation 4, it’s not clear whether The King of Fighters XIV is a platform exclusive.
Along with the announcements came a handful of screenshots and a teaser trailer, all of which you can check out below.
