Folks that like to game on their mobile devices, preferably smartphone platforms like iOS and Android, will find that SNK will release a new game in The King of Fighters series, which will go by the name of KOF: World. The upcoming game has no official release date yet, but it is slated to debut sometime this Summer for mobile devices.

That’s right, SNK will bring forth a new KOF game later this year for mobile devices. The game, however, doesn’t seem like your usual King of Fighters game, where-is this KOF sees folks playing online with RPG elements mixed in with a persistent world.

The devs not only listed some of the things fans of the series can look forward to in a new post for King of Fighters World, but they also posted up a screenshot from the concept movie that sits below.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game in the realm of KOF is currently being developed on a brand new 3D engine that will work on brand new mechanics. Players will advance through the game on a 3D CG panoramic map that will feature battles and puzzle solving.

In addition to the game a story mode will be present, which, tagging along with the story, popular characters in the KOF series will also make an appearance in the game.

The mobile game is said by the devs to be a free experience enjoyed by players seeking to discover the ongoing fighting game’s world, which I have no ideal how this game will turn out from the aforesaid info. But if you want to check out the new “World- Concept Movie” for the upcoming KOF mobile game the video trailer sits below.
