Okay guys just came back from work at the time of this posting but hey, had to report on this. The latest trailer for The King Of Fighters XIV that was shown at The PlayStation Experience 2015 is now up online and pretty much confirms A-LOT of things. First up, the game has been confirmed to have 50 playable characters, all split into 16 teams. THIS pleases me. The KOF series has been mainly known for its format where character where split into different teams, with the exception of the KOF Maximum Impact games, which were your atypical fighting game fare. So this I like.
Another thing to note is that there's a Party Battle mode alongside the obligatory offline and online modes, where 4 players can duke it out at the same time, each controlling a team. Yes, Party Battle pretty much allows 16 characters in one fight. And yes, there seems to be a new story in this game. To be honest, I was scared as while I was fine with the non-canon games in the series, what excited me were the different story arcs in the game's continuity. So I'm glad that this is coming back.
Oh and yes, more playable characters confirmed. The pic above is one of the newly-confirmed playable characters, Kula Diamond. If the rumors are true, expect to see K' and Maxima show up in this game too. Others include Ralf Jones, Billy Kane, King, and Angel.
Anyway, enough talk. Trailer's below so go check it out and let me know what you guys think. Shu Serian, signing off.
