Atlus sent out the following press release
If you’ve been burning on the inside for some intense 3v3 fighting game action,
your wait is about to get a little more bearable. That’s because THE KING OF FIGHTERS
XIV demo will be available on the PlayStation Store worldwide on July 19 for the
Americas/Europe and July 20 for Asia! Players will finally be able to slake their
burning KOF thirst by test driving seven characters (Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui,
Iori Yagami, Sylvie Paula Paula, King of Dinosaurs, Shun’ei, and Nelson) before
the game launches. While the demo won’t have online functionality, local versus
mode will be available. Oh, and the demo will also come with a free dynamic PS4
theme! With series first 3D graphics, updated gameplay such as a complete overhaul
to Combos and MAX Mode, and more, the demo will show just how much SNK has evolved
the nearly 22 year old franchise.
And to get you EVEN MORE HYPED for KOF XIV, we’ve gone ahead and released a spanking
new story trailer that’ll give you a little insight to what’s at stake during the
tournament. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! We have yet another trailer that gives a first look
at Antonov, the villainous eccentric billionaire/man-mountain who bought the rights
to the King of Fighters brand in order to host a new tournament. The self proclaimed
“One True King of Fighters” has an array of devastating strikes and bone-crunching
grappling that will make him a tough opponent to face. I mean, anyone who sports
glorious mutton chops and wears a championship belt during a fight must be near
unbeatable right?
This is great news and hopefully will convince more people to give the game try when it is released in August.
