Last May,Hamster, the company behind Arcade Archives, announced the Arcade Archives 2 Neo Geo line would be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series. This would be a series of reissues of Arcade Archives Neo Geo games with new features and options, and now we have more news. Famitsu has reported that King of Fighters ’98 will be the first of this new line of releases coming on February 27th.
The Arcade Archives 2 Neo Geo rerelease includes online network play and a new time attack mode where players will compete against other players to finish the game in the fastest time.In this time attack mode, players will be ranked based on checkpoints, and the aim is to make the mode more accessible to both “beginners and advanced players”.
Additionally, players will also have access to more save slots in the original mode, with 4 standard saves and 1 quick save, as well as the option to designate buttons on your controller to quick save and quick load. Other features include a “thoughtfully designed” rewind function, an improved options menu, and support for Variable Refresh Rate, among other improvements.
Arcade Archives 2 Neo Geo King Of Fighters ’98, will cost $9.99, with a cheaper $2.99 upgrade option being offered to those who already own the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game.
