Besides the announcement of the Awakened Orochi team which will be available as DLC in KOF XV next August, SNK also made a nice surprise this morning for fans of 2D fighting, since The King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match Final Edition is available now on PS4. This is currently the digital version, on free sale on the PlayStation Network at €15, but be aware that Pix’n Love will offer the game in its physical version. As usual with the French manufacturer, it is the quality and the nostalgia that have driven this edition, since it will be a ShockBox NeoGeo version to come soon. The announcement has been made, but pre-orders will only be open from June 27 at 5 p.m. sharp. Three versions will be offered for sale, Standard, Collector and Deluxe, with different rendering, bonuses and prices. Where Pix’n Love is clever and will push big collectors to buy all the editions is that each edition offers a different and reversible cover. Here is the detail of each edition, with the price that goes with it.
