    Ignition Entertainment and SNK Playmore Proudly Announce First-Ever Next Generation King of Fighters Game: THE KING OF FIGHTERS XII

    Newly Hand-Drawn in High Resolution,The Fight is on in July 2009 on PLAYSTATION®3 System and Xbox 360® Video Game and Entertainment System from Microsoft


    Glendale, CA – March 3, 2009 – Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames and SNK Playmore announced today that The King of Fighters XII is releasing worldwide in July 2009 on Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

    The legendary 3-on-3 fighting game series that united rival brawlers from SNK Playmore’s classic arcade franchises celebrates its 15th Anniversary in style with the release of The King of Fighters XII. For the first time in its history, this epic martial arts showdown has undergone a complete graphical overhaul. The antiquated character sprites used over the past 14 years have been dropped in favor of all-new, high-resolution fighters fluidly animating across painstakingly detailed, 100% hand-drawn backgrounds.

    “Our development slogan for KOFXII is “KOF Re-Birth” and we’ve aimed to create an entirely new King of Fighters game. To make this a truly unique fighting game, we’ve revolutionized the graphics by creating state of the art visuals - and made no compromises in that process whatsoever,” said Masaaki Kukino, SNK Playmore.

    “I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to commemorate The King of Fighter’s 15-Year Anniversary than with a gorgeously animated, high-definition installment that updates the KOF legacy for a new generation.” said Shane Bettenhausen, New Business Development Director of Ignition Entertainment. “While other fighting games have abandoned the time-consuming process of creating beautiful 2D art, KOFXII fully embraces the refined aesthetic beauty that only human hands can produce.”

    For a sneak peek at The King of Fighters XII, check out The King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match– for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system packed with footage and content of The King of Fighters XII in every game – in stores today!

      I hadn't been keeping up with the more recent KoFs but Lionx showed me gameplay footage of XII last Christmas and I was like "WOW." Looks absolutely beautiful. HD Remix wishes it could look this good.

      Also, Athena looks like she's 5 years younger.

        I don't like how they think you can release a new fighting game just because they "painstakingly" upgraded the graphics.

          It's not like the super ultra HD 3D graphics weren't a huge part of the hype in SF4.

          EDIT: It's not even like they need much of a reason to release a new KoF, they used to be released on a yearly basis. And unlike Capcom or Arc System Works they don't release revision upon revision or make prequels and in-between-quels because they can't be bothered to come up with a new plot.

            That was the entire hype. It was SF2 with a new look and a new price.

              Oi Armando... Ash is a guy, he stole Iori's fire just before Maximum Impact 2 (Check KoF another day 4 episode promotional anime for the game)

              I mean the girl (I really hope it's a girl <_< ) cosplaying is really hot, but the character is a guy no matter how pretty he might appear to be.


              PS > And from the looks of it Iori was unable to get it back. Not like he needed it much anyway.

                Guess I'm gay for him. Beats the shit out of Bridget.

                This is turning into a disturbing trend for fighting games though.

                  It's all a conspiracy to lure you to the pink side of the force.

                    Disappointing game is disappointing.

                    From 47 characters to 20 for what, " teh HD grafix"? What a waste.

                      They're just following what Koei did with DW6. I'd just like to Ralf Punch someone in the face.

                            Wait. Is that really the entire roster?

                            In that case they should've gone with a '94 remake instead. (Plus, I miss the old teams by nation style.)
