I just watched the trailer, and it looks like the gameplay will take us through a bunch of different missions. We’re going to be able to play as four characters – they’re calling them the Aces! There’s the Ace of Clubs, who’s all about stealth – basically a ghost. Then you’ve got the Ace of Diamonds, the tech expert. If you like going in strong, the Ace of Spades is your guy – he’s the enforcer. And finally, the Ace of Hearts is the mastermind, planning everything out. It’s Payday, so you know it’s going to be a mix of trying to be sneaky and then, inevitably, things going loud with tons of guards coming after you! It looks like a blast.

Released as the fifth installment in the series, The King of Fighters ‘98 is often hailed by critics as the best game from the 1990s. It differs from previous King of Fighters games by including nearly every character who appeared in earlier titles and focusing solely on exciting, non-story driven matchups. Players build teams of three fighters to compete in the King of Fighters tournament, ultimately facing off against Rugal Bernstein. The game was a major success and remains a fan favorite, even though the King of Fighters series has continued to release excellent games into the 2020s.

While more seasons are likely coming, the long-term plan isn’t fully decided. HBO chief Casey Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter that shows like The Pitt could return every year, but that’s not feasible for series with lots of special effects, using Harry Potter as a prime example.

The developer acknowledged that the combat experience in the game hasn’t quite lived up to what players were hoping for, according to a recent blog post.

Here is an overview of the game, via Hamster:

When the full game is released, you’ll be able to carry over your progress from the demo. Plus, players who complete the demo will get a special hamster costume for their Mii characters to use in the full game.
