We reported earlier this year that SNK was looking to bring its PlayStation 4 hit The King of Fighter XIV to a new audience, this time on Steam. Good news – it’s coming a lot sooner than you think.
The publisher confirmed this week that The King of Fighters XIV: Steam Edition will be making its way to Steam on June 15th. It’ll sell for $59.99 for the standalone edition, and there will also be a deluxe pack that features four downloadable characters, ten alternative costumes, a digital art book and a digital soundtrack for $74.99.
