SNK’s The King of Fighters is Preparing a 30th Anniversary Bash In a Few Days

As a seasoned gamer who has been following SNK since the days of Neo Geo, I can confidently say that the anticipation for what the legendary company has in store for King of Fighters (KOF) is palpable. With the 30th anniversary looming, speculations run rampant about KOF16 and potential re-releases of classic titles.


Currently, SNK is riding a wave of excitement, and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, slated for release next year, seems set to be another exceptional game from this legendary studio. However, amidst all the buzz about Fatal Fury, fans are left wondering what’s coming up next for SNK’s iconic series – The King of Fighters.

The business is developing additional content, or downloadable add-ons, for King of Fighters 15, reintroducing characters Mature and Vice to the game. Moreover, they have shared that the series will celebrate its 30th anniversary soon.

The 30th anniversary of the King of Fighters series is approaching, and SNK has been building excitement for this milestone on Twitter. However, specific details about their plans remain unclear. It’s likely that a new installment, King of Fighters 16, will be released soon. Additionally, there are rumors suggesting a re-release of another classic King of Fighters game, with the 13th iteration set for release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 towards the end of 2023.

Time alone can reveal whether significant outcomes emerge from this festivity, yet it’s likely that SNK will capitalize on the occasion by re-releasing something. Given their esteemed past, a compilation gathering SNK’s KOF series would undoubtedly be well-received.

Currently, you can find King of Fighters 15 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC platforms. On April 24, 2025, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be launched for the same consoles. Interestingly, Fatal Fury characters are expected to appear in Street Fighter 6, with Terry Bogard joining as DLC soon, followed by Mai Shiranui next year.
