At EVO Japan, SNK Playmore announced the upcoming release of King of Fighters XIII Global Match for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, with an open beta planned for Summer 2023.
The King of Fighters XIII Global Match (KOF XIII GM) has officially been released on Steam, however, the reviews for the game aren't exactly positive.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Even though The King of Fighters XIII: Global Match is, by and large, the same game originally released in 2011 for Xbox 360, with just a handful of technical improvements, that’s not exactly a bad thing. Granted, it suffers from having a particularly small roster (for KoF standards, that is), and its story mode is a waste of time, but it’s still a top-notch King of Fighters game that’s well worth your time if you want a brand new fighting game fix with some juicy rollback netcode. It’s not King of Fighters 2002, but it’s no KoF XII either. To have this available on PS4 and Nintendo Switch is still a great deal for some multiplayer action and game preservation."
With a new and improved online component, does King of Fighters XIII: Global Match offer enough to make this an essential release?
Nice move. Now also give it crossplay options so we have enough players no matter on which system you play this pretty forgotten gem of a game.
Excellent move
Need Xbox version
Nice! I'm glad the PS4 is still getting support.
