PAL-region fans awaiting the launch of the highly anticipated The King of Fighters XIII are in for a treat. Leading independent UK publisher, Rising Star Games, has today announced the pre-order package for its upcoming release of The King of Fighters XIII. This pre-order package will include a limited edition 4-CD soundtrack from the history of the franchise.


This is on top of the contents of the retail box, which includes the game disc, double-sided A3 poster (artwork on one side, move list on the reverse), digital art disc, and reversible sleeves (design specific to format). For those not in the know, The King of Fighters is the flagship series of legendary fighting game publisher-developer SNK Playmore. While games like Street Fighter have gone into 3D, the KOF series has always rocked in 2D.

The King of Fighters XIII features the final chapter in the Ash Saga storyline and brings about huge developments in global online play, vastly improving the experience from previous KOF games. The game features 30+ playable characters including the return of Mai Shiranui (YES!!!) and Yuri Sakazaki. There’s also an overhaul on the fighting mechanics, with new NEO MAX super moves, faster gameplay and camera control.

THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII will be released in the PAL market November 2011, courtesy of Rising Star Games www.risingstargames.com.
