PQ Gamez and SNK Join Forces to Bring The King of Fighters to the Tabletop!

Long Beach, CA — February 1st, 2026 — PQ Gamez is stepping into the ring with SNK to announce an all-new tabletop collaboration based on the legendary fighting game franchise The King of Fighters. The partnership’s first release is a dynamic card game that evolves the tactical deck-building system from PQ Gamez’s The Martial Way, retooled to showcase the unforgettable characters, rivalries, and explosive combat that have defined the series for over three decades.

Built for 1–3 players and playable straight out of the box, King of Fighters: The Orochi Saga offers immediate action for casual players while opening the door to deep customization for seasoned deck builders. With full cross-compatibility with The Martial Way, players can mix fighters, strategies, and styles to create endless matchups—whether recreating classic showdowns or forging entirely new rivalries.

At its core, the game is a celebration of what fans love most about The King of Fighters: Striking character design, a rich and interconnected story, devastating signature moves, and authentic martial arts influences that shape how each fighter plays. Iconic characters like Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, and many more come to life through mechanics that reflect their personality, fighting style, and their signature moves.

PQ Gamez is supporting the release with a flexible and collector-friendly product model, featuring a core game alongside expandable content such as duel packs, challenger packs, and limited-edition character tribute packs—designed to let players grow their collection at their own pace while celebrating the franchise’s deep roster.

Pre-orders are planned for the early half of this year, with a projected street date in Fall/Winter 2026. Additional reveals, previews, and character announcements will be shared as development continues.
