With financial support from Saudi Arabia, SNK now has the resources to pursue its ambitions freely. Having regained its former official title and revitalizing its flagship franchises—such as KOF, Samurai Shodown, Metal Slug, and soon Fatal Fury—the Japanese publisher is ready to launch the second phase of its transformation: the SNK Universe Project. This initiative aims to expand its licenses beyond video games into other media, including cinema, series, animation, and manga. As a result, we can expect iconic SNK characters to appear in various forms across different platforms. Previous ventures include Fatal Fury OVAs, The King of Fighters manga, and Samurai Shodown animated adaptations; thus, cultural diversification is set to return. Finally, the development of a new NeoGeo console, as suggested in recent years, could further solidify SNK’s prominence from the 1990s.
