SNK has recently brought back their Samura Shodown series as well with a reboot that used a 3D art style. Unlike their effort with King of Fighters XIV, Samurai Shodown had a slightly different art style that attempted to retain its original aesthetics. SNK hasn’t shown much for The King of Fighters XV as the teaser trailer was mostly a logo.
