SNK's New KOF Studio Will Revolutionise the Legacy of Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, More | Push Square
SNK has named an internal development unit KOF Studio, and tasked it with “revolutionising” the legacy of its storied fighting game franchises. Said series include the likes of King of Fighters (of course), Samurai Shodown, and Fatal Fury.
“SNK fighting games have thrilled and delighted fans worldwide ever since their landmark debut in the 1990s,” an announcement explained. “The 30th anniversary of The King of Fighters brings with it another milestone: the launch of the all-new KOF Studio. KOF Studio will proudly carry on the storied legacy of our iconic fighting game IPs while driving their evolution well into the future.”
There’s no other information aside from a logo, but the blurb concludes that “the dream match never ends”.
In terms of upcoming projects, KOF Studio is currently working on Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which is scheduled to release on 24th April, as well as an upcoming RPG adaptation of the Samurai Shodown series.

I can't believe we have Capcom and SNK back.
Anyway, yeah, do that SNK! The Samsho reboot is great, and City of the Wolves looks on point too.

Well… what is interesting is that this assumes that there will be other
