SNK Announces Art of Fighting 3 R for PC

Modern netcode, online play, added Practice and VS modes, plus two new characters aim to make the 1996 fighter competitive today.

Overview

  • SNK unveiled The Path of the Warrior: Art of Fighting 3 R as part of its NEO GEO Premium Selection in late June, announcing a PC release on Steam but no launch date.
  • The remaster preserves the original 1996 game’s systems while adding rollback netcode and online multiplayer to improve online matches and reduce lag.
  • New single-player and local tools include a robust Practice Mode and an expanded VS Mode to help players learn moves and test balance changes.
  • Two series favorites, King and Yuri Sakazaki, have been added as playable fighters, expanding the original roster and altering matchup dynamics.
  • Coverage notes the version is reported as PC-only for now and outlets have asked SNK whether the Premium Selection will reach consoles, with the company yet to confirm plans.
