SNK Hiring, Working on New Games

In the New Year’s round-up at Famitsu with video game developers, Yasuyuki Oda states that SNK is eagerly hiring to work on its new projects. The only game that he explicitly named in his resolution is Art of Fighting. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Every year, Famitsu does short interviews with major video game developers in the Japanese industry. These developers give some information on their recent activities, as well as what they aspire to aim for in the coming year. In Oda’s case, he and other SNK developers are particularly interested in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which they hope to show more of in 2024. Oda states that SNK’s new office in Shin-Osaka is working on several games such as a new Art of Fighting, and they welcome new talent. Fellow SNK game designer Nobuyuki Kuroki expressed the same sentiment in his own interview.

There’s not much detail from the other SNK developers as to what game the new office is working on. Again, their focus is mainly on Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for now. SNK first announced this title at EVO 2023. According to their interviews with Famitsu, they’re using a lot of the initial reactions to the trailer to help them continue their development of the game.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is in development for unspecified platforms. There is no release window yet.
