SNK Playmore has released a new video for King of Fighters XIV, revealing a brand new character to the series called Banderas Hattori.
As you can see in the trailer he’s a pretty big fan of Mai, who is also revealed to be returning to the series in the video. The two characters duke it out and, if Banderas wins, he gets to be trained by Mai. She’s not too keen on the arrangement, however.
As announced previously, KOF is exclusive to the PlayStation 4. The last game in the series, King of Fighters 13, was released on Xbox 360 and PC, but as of yet SNK has not expressed any plans to make KOF 14 multiplatform.
KOF 14 was announced during the PlayStation press conference at Tokyo Game Show. Although brawls take place on a 2D plane from a side-on perspective, the game is being built with 3D assets.
“This brand new KOF numbered series title features high-quality 3D visuals, however [it is] staying true to the gameplay roots of the series,” SNK Playmore said at the time.
The game is scheduled to ship across Japan in 2016.
