King of Fighters 15 has been delayed due to coronavirus in Japan

Although we have been waiting for the release of the fifteenth part of the King of Fighters fighting series this year, the trends with delays are unfortunately continuing, so if you were planning to play it this year - change your plans. As things stand now, we will play King of Fighters 15 at the earliest in the first half of 2022.

The news was shared with fans by producer Yasuyuki Oda, who claims that the rise in new coronary heart disease in Japan has set them back in the development of the game. “The development plan we have set has been disrupted due to the still growing number of COVID 19 patients in Japan. Given that the quality of the final product must come first, we decided to move the release date of the game. " said Oda, adding, "We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as our development teams continue to work on KOF 15 as we approach the release of the game."

We are still waiting for the SNK development studio, which is also the publisher of the game, to announce which platforms we can expect the game for, and we hope to get at least that information soon.
