Yasayuki Oda Has a Christmas Surprise Planned for The King of Fighters XIV

FloKO interviewed The King of Fighters XIV director Yasuyuki Oda about the upcoming Version 1.10 patch for his game; in addition to discussing the inspiration behind the graphical changes and SNK’s decision to increase support for the esports scene, Oda says that he has a “small present” planned for the Christmas season. Since the 1.10 patch won’t be officially implemented until January, we can assume that whatever the surprise is will be something unrelated to the graphic and balance updates. Christmas season is practically here, so it’s likely we’ll find out what it is soon.

You can watch FloKO’s full interview with Yasuyuki Oda here.

[Editor’s note: there’s a possibility the “present” refers to the yet-unreleased classic Athena costume, which is apparently going to be a free download temporarily. Or, maybe not! We’ll see.]
