When you think of The King of Fighters, what do you think of? The cool moves of Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, and Benimaru Nikaido, the beautiful and cool female characters like Mai Shiranui and Chizuru Kagura, or the happy time of competing with friends and family in the game. No matter which one it is, you probably never imagined that the characters in The King of Fighters would stop fighting and instead drive famous warships in history and engage in exciting naval battles with the enemy, right?



And all this actually happened in World of Warships! World of Warships is a third-person vehicle shooting game where players, as captains, drive warships and form naval teams with other players to fight against other teams and win.



As the leader in naval battle simulation games, SNK, the world-renowned game company that produces "World of Warships" and "The King of Fighters" and has created classics such as "Metal Slug" and "Samurai Shodown", has started a collaboration to bring the characters from "The King of Fighters" to "World of Warships"!



Two major gift packs were launched for this collaboration. In the Commander Pack, captains can purchase the classic fighters Kagura Chizuru and Nikaido Benimaru from The King of Fighters. As new commanders, Kagura and Nikaido both have 12 skill points and the specialization label of the powerful battleship X-Whale. It is worth mentioning that both commanders use the original voiceovers, striving to bring players an authentic collaboration experience.



In addition to the two new commanders, players who purchase the "ALL IN" package can also receive the new permanent paint "Yata" for the X-Whale, two themed commemorative armbands, and a commemorative flag "Surging Fighting Spirit". The "Yata" paint was inspired by SNK's classic games. In the plot of "The King of Fighters", the linked character Kagura Chizuru is the guardian of the Yata Mirror. The new paint fits the art style and plot details of "The King of Fighters", which is very thoughtful.



The thoughtful collaboration naturally received rave reviews. Comments such as "The national server has become more prominent" and "The battleship paint is so cool" appeared frequently.



In addition to the appreciation for the paint jobs and new commanders, for many players, the SNK collaboration brought them back to the good old days of playing arcade games in their childhood. One captain wanted to use this collaboration to make up for the regret that his parents did not allow him to play The King of Fighters in his childhood in World of Warships; another captain said that he played The King of Fighters with his father when he was a child, and this collaboration event just happened to pull his father into the game, and the father and son regained the joy of playing games together in World of Warships.



The enthusiastic feedback from players shows the success of the joint activities between World of Warships and SNK. In fact, World of Warships has always been rigorous in choosing joint IPs. In addition to SNK, well-known IPs such as Star Trek, which delighted movie fans, Popeye, which instantly brought players back to their childhood, and Azur Lane, a two-dimensional game with the same battleship theme, are also partners of World of Warships.



These joint activities have all received unanimous praise from players without exception. We have to admire the forward-looking vision of World of Warships in this regard! A new round of joint activities is also on the way. This time, the childhood memory of Transformers is coming to World of Warships. I believe that this return will also make the dreams of many captains who have missed it come true.



The joint event between World of Warships and SNK will end on August 2. Captains who like classic SNK games such as The King of Fighters 97 should not miss the last chance! After the SNK joint event ends, Transformers will also be available in the port on August 2. Captains who like this IP should remember to log in on time and enjoy the exciting experience of the Autobots fighting fiercely on the sea in one second!
