In an unexpected move from SNK Playmore, a new version of KOFXIII will be released for arcade called “Climax”. Date is unannounced but a beta test is very close! Hit the jump for more info and the poster.
Via Andriasang:
SNK Playmore announced today an updated version of The King of Fighters XIII for arcade release. Titled The King of Fighters XIII Climax, the game is currently without a release date but is scheduled to go on location test this weekend.
There’s no word from SNK Playmore just yet on what’s new for Climax. Access the game’s official site here.
To take part in the location test (and hopefully report back on what’s new), head to Club Sega Akihabara or Sega Namba Avion on February 11 and 12.
Judging from the poster it looks like it’ll be either the console version of the game brought to the arcade (with the console version DLC & exclusive characters and balance), or a total rebalance of the console version, which is unlikely.
Glad to see SNK is back, but I didn’t expect an update. Was more anticipating a 14th KOF but this sounds good.
