Japanese developer SNK has established KOF Studio to "carry on the storied legacy" of its fighting game franchises.

The studio website explains the nascent developer will attempt to "revolutionise" SNK's vast slate of fighting properties.

Fighting game properties under SNK include Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters. The latter was bolstered with a new installment in 2022, while the most recent Samurai Shodown (or Samurai Spirits in Japan) title debuted in 2019. The next Fatal Fury game is currently slated to be Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which will mark the first entry in the series in over 25 years when it launches in April 2025.
