The King of Fighters 2002 is the 9th game of the KOF franchise, the 2nd one that follows a “Dream Team” format – including various characters from previous games and no story content, as well as the 2nd KOF game that wasn’t published by SNK due to its bankruptcy, but from the Korean publisher Eolith.
Even though the 3 previous games, KOF ’99, KOF 2000 & KOF 2001 included 4-character teams, KOF 2002 brings back the beloved 3-character composition, which is far more practical and balanced. A lot of special moves, mechanics and cancels were introduced as well, making it an ideal fighting tournament game!
Many revisions have been published since the original Arcade release on October 10, 2002, with the most recent one being The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, available on Steam and all platforms.
