Speaking of Season 2, SNK Corporation recently announced that it will begin in January 2026. It's also worth noting that Mr. Big joined the Season 1 DLC roster earlier than expected, making his previously announced "early 2026" debut no longer accurate.
In terms of what fans can expect in Season 2, SNK Corporation has not revealed any details at the time of publishing this article. However, whatever they have in store will likely build on the momentum that the fighting game has gained throughout its first year.
