SNK are behind a few of the biggest fighting games around. For a long time, they’ve been primarily known for the King of Fighters series, one of the biggest series in fighting. Outside of that, they’ve produced tons of the best fighting games, including the more recent Samurai Shodown. These SNK games haven’t gone too far beyond games though, that’s until recently. They’ve just announced the SNK Universe Project. This will be a big expansion for their Ips that see them go beyond just games.

Most of the big fighting games end up building up quite a bit of a world. It’s the core mechanics that appeal to a lot of players, but unless there’s an exciting cast of characters and a world you want to get involved in, it’s just not as interesting. This new project will be a way for SNK games to expand beyond just 1v1s, what is the SNK Universe Project going to be though?

SNK Universe Project Announced

The SNK Universe Project has just been announced by SNK. It’s going to be a new project which is aiming to increase awareness of their IPs worldwide. To try and make sure players across the world have a good understanding of the worlds of SNK.

The overall project is trying to go past just fighting games. It’s going to see the company expanding to feature their characters in other mediums for entertainment. We may start seeing characters from SNK popping up in films, music, even manga and anime. The whole project will start a little smaller though. While the first official part of it will be the New York Comic Con. Here a film about SNK will be shown. This will largely be focused on King of Fighters, a series behind some of the best fighting games of all time.

This first part of the SNK Universe Project will definitely be fun for those attending the event. What else can we expect to see from this project though? Hopefully, some of the expanded media forms talked about so far give us a chance to learn more about SNK characters in a deeper way.
