The King of Fighters XIV's Next PS4 Patch Improves Graphics

For a long time before The King of Fighters XIV launched, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the sequel's shift from 2D to 3D visuals. Previously, the series had prided itself on pristine sprite work, but with the fourteenth entry, developer SNK decided that it was going to dip its toes into the world of 3D modelling. Needless to say, early results were rather ugly.

Flash forward to release, and the fighter actually looked decent on PlayStation 4. However, the negative air surrounding the title's graphical prowess was unshakeable at that point, even though the game turned out to be a pretty solid brawler.

It's nice to see that SNK isn't backing away from its latest release, then, as the studio has revealed that the title's next update will further improve the game's visuals. As you can see from the image that we've embedded above, the lighting effects seem to have been bolstered quite dramatically, and there appears to be a bit more detail to the character model. We imagine that said patch won't be too far away, although no official date has been given.
