 SNK CORPORATION is proud to announce THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 ULTIMATE MATCH FINAL EDITION received a major update today on Steam that greatly improves online functions.
The update addresses many players’ wishes for a smoother online experience by implementing rollback netcode. Additionally, it also includes Online Lobbies that can hold up to nine players, and spectating mode so fans can watch your friends fight. Player feedback from the second Community Beta test was instrumental in delivering the best online functions possible.
The KOF ’98 UM FINAL EDITION OST is also featured together with this major update on Steam. It boasts 63 fantastic tracks from the original NEOGEO KOF ’98 and from those added in KOF ’98 ULTIMATE MATCH and has been remastered by the SNK Sound Team.

*The soundtrack comes in two file formats: MP3 and FLAC.

After “KOF ’98”, often praised by the fans as the best installment in the “KOF” series, and “KOF ’98 UM” 10 years later, “KOF ’98” has returned on the Steam PC gaming platform in an ultimate and final version with THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 ULTIMATE MATCH FINAL EDITION.

…………..

This is a great improvement that will help keep the game strong.
