It was announced previously and now it is official. SNK Playmore will reincorporate as SNK Corporation on December 1. SNK says this is to reflect their return to their gaming roots. SNK spent some time as a pachinko maker but has since returned to the gaming industry with The King of Fighters XIV and digital releases of acclaimed games from the past.
This change of corporation name to “SNK”, and slogan to “The Future Is Now” marks a return to SNK’s glorious gaming history. Through the huge success of many of its game franchises in the past, SNK is still a brand supported by countless fans from around the world to this day. The new corporation name chosen for this turning point, signifies both a return to the origins of SNK, and revival of our pioneer spirit to always offer long-time fans of SNK, as well as newcomers, entertainment of an even higher quality moving forward
