SNK announced today (the 29th) that it is adding the 'Art of Fighting' series title, 'ART OF FIGHTING: The Path of the Warrior R' (hereinafter 'Art of Fighting R'), to its NeoGeo Premium Selection.

Based on the 1996 release 'ART OF FIGHTING: The Path of the Warrior', this remaster optimizes the graphics and various systems for modern platforms. The game is characterized by its high-freedom action, which pushes the boundaries of traditional fighting games, and its diverse motion animations.

As the original is considered one of the most unique titles in the 'Art of Fighting' series, the focus of this remaster was to preserve that distinct personality while incorporating modern features like online matchmaking, creating a title that both new players and long-time fans can enjoy.

Notably, King and Yuri Sakazaki—popular characters from the 'Art of Fighting' series who were absent from the original 'Path of the Warrior'—have been added as new playable characters. Additionally, the game's balance has been adjusted across the board to allow for more intense and deep psychological gameplay.

Further details regarding 'Art of Fighting R' will be released in the future via the official website and social media channels.
