Y'know what? Fair play to SNK β it's really working hard to make sure that everyone gives The King of Fighters XIV a shot. While the publisher may not have Street Fighter's brand power or Mortal Kombat's marketing budget, it's doing everything that it can to get the game in front of fighting game fans. Take next week's seven character demo for example; download it and you'll get a free PlayStation 4 dynamic theme. It's the little things that make a difference β especially in the wake of Capcom's latest DLC scandal.
The game's due out on 23rd August in North America and 26th August in Europe, of course, and the embedded Story Trailer released to coincide with EVO 2016 includes a brief look at the title's campy single player mode, which appears to revolve around some ridiculous supernatural entities. The firm also announced the game's villain this weekend: a billionaire named Antonov who's bought the rights to the King of Fighters brand just so that he can declare himself, well, the One True King of Fighters.
Time to knock that git off his perch?

Basic features like story mode and VS day one? That's just crazy talk...
I don't think this is going to play like a story mode such as Mortal Kombat X, so don't expect that......
.....it will probably be akin to your usual KOF arcade mode (which usually differs on ending pending which team of three you choose, or leader of) with a few extra cut scenes thrown in compared to previous iterations.
@sub12
Still better than what SF V offered.
I just came for the tits.
... wait ...
@Gamer83
Yup, I just want some single player with some depth, besides solid online. So a decent arcade or vs cpu is more important than a 4 hour long cinematic story mode IMO.
That looked alright until;
A supernatural entity and you have to save the world. Wtf is that?
The gameplay looks good, the story may be interesting, but the graphics needs better texture for god sake! Textures! If you can make the gameplay works and looks fluid like that you can do better textures! Is the easiest thing to do when making a game!
A story like MK9 and X would be awesome too!
@Frank90
Gameplay > over graphics......anytime.
Yay, some KOFXIV articles! Thanks EVO! Thanks Sammy!
So eager to try the demo.
@sub12 While I agree, the right graphics can set you in the mood, I think that if they polish a little, special the the skin texture.
