The King of Fighters XV is Coming to PS4 and PS5 When it Launches in Early 2022

SNK has confirmed The King of Fighters XV will be coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 when it is released during the first quarter of 2022, as well as Xbox Series X/S, Windows 10, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The game will be published both digitally and at retail worldwide by Koch Media.

Very few other details were announced about the next installment in the fighting game franchise, which has been known about publicly since it was briefly mentioned during an IPO investor relations conference two years ago. When it was officially announced at the start of this year, Creative Director Eisuke Ogura promised the game would be “fast paced while adding elements to make it more exciting“. The graphics and sound will also be improved from The King of Fighters XIV.

Koch Media’s director of global partner publishing Stephan Schmidt said about the partnership:

We are delighted to be working again with SNK and excited to support them with our local publishing offices around the world. It is particularly thrilling to be able to work on such a legendary fighting game franchise. I’m convinced that we’ll achieve great things together for the digital and physical release of this title.
