SNK recently released a short 8-second trailer, which showed the iconic elements of the two characters in the "Fist of the Dragon" series, and seemed to hint at the launch of a new series.

Trailer:

The trailer pays homage to the classic character through two separate clips: a glimpse of karate master Takuma Sakazaki's mask, and a close-up of Robert's iconic coin toss.The entire trailer is only described with a simple Tengu mask expression, and the video title "Old players know what this means..." adds to the mystery.

Considering that SNK confirmed that it was developing a new "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger" game during the EVO 2024 celebration last year, this trailer is very likely to be related to it.At that time, officials revealed that it would "take some time" for these projects to be available to players.

As early as 2023, SNK has begun to pave the way for the new work "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger".Currently known information shows that this new work will focus on "the prosperous South Town in the 1970s."

The last time a new game was launched in this series was "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger 3: Fighter's Road" in 1996. This is not the first time that SNK has revitalized a classic IP that has been dormant for many years: "Legend of Wolf", which is also a fighting series under its franchise, also launched "Legend of Wolf: City of Wolves" earlier this year after being dormant for more than 20 years.

If you want to relive the classics, the "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger" collection is now available on the PlayStation store, and the first-generation work is also available on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch platforms.
