From the staff at Osaka Kohatsu's twitter (Take this with a grain of salt):

来月辺りに新規2D格闘を発表予定

Seems that a new 2D (or rather in KOF's case, 2.5D) fighting game will be announced in October. It could or could not be KOF, but let's not go crazy and speculate just yet.

[UPDATE]

Some information regarding next year's 20th anniversary KOF game have been released, but let's take these rumors with a grain of salt for now.  Information comes from Evil_Yagami at Cyberfanatix.  UPDATE:  Got my gf to read it herself and she added notes to the translation, added notes in italics -Kane317

Somebody is calming that he has a source in Taito Corporation that knows some info about KOF 20th Anniversary, the info is written in Korean, I tried my best to translate them using the Online Translators, I am pretty sure that I have some mistakes, so be careful :

-내년 20주년을 맞이 하는 KOF 신작은 내년 10월경 가동을 위해 준비중이며 3~4월경 상세 정보를 공개할 예정.

- Next year is the 20th Anniversary of KOF, a new KOF game is expected to be revealed in March or April next year, also the same source mentioned October, it could be the release date of the game !  The supposed announcement of the game being released in March/April, will be in October!
 

-드림매치로 이루어질 것이며 타이틀은 연도제나 시리즈 숫자 표기가 아닌 부제 형식으로 갈지도 모른다.

The next KOF is going to be a Dream Match, also the game doesn't have a number till now !

-참전캐릭터의 수는 50명 이상이 될 예정이며 현재 36명의 라인업이 확정되었고 이미 디자인 및 도트작업에 들어가고 있다.

The number of the characters in the new KOF game will be more than 50, includes all the 36 characters from KOF XIII !

-그들은 KOF에서 나오지 않았던 깜짝놀랄만한 캐릭터의 컴백을 계획하고 있다.

I couldn't understand it ! This part is rather confusing.  They said they are making a comeback of surprising characters that were not expected.  They also said "new" surprising comeback characters which is very contradicting.  UPDATE:  According to Madman, they are returning some sensational characters not seen before in the KOF series (other SNK games?).

-XIII 에서 사용했던 캐릭터의 도트를 사용하지 않고 1080p의 해상도에 모든것이 3D로 이루어 새롭게 만들어진다.(3D로 작업후 2D를 덮어씌우는 방식이 아님.)
이는 다양한 캐릭터 등장씬과 기술에 따라 다양한 카메라 구도와 효과를 사용하기 위함이며 2D형식과 비슷한 속도감과 타격의 게임을 구현하기 위해 노력하고 있다.

The graphics of the new KOF will be in 3D, KOF XIII couldn't offer a real dot characters in 1080P, some parts couldn't understand it ! They send there are different camera angles depending on which "skill" they do.  The reason they are doing 3D is because they want to do new character introduction.

-시스템은 어느정도 윤곽은 잡혔으나 문제점이 계속 발견되어 계속 수정중에 있다.

They are facing some issues with the gameplay system, and still doing configurations and modifications on it !

-조금 더 유저들이 친근하게 다가갈 수 있도록 시스템을 XIII보다 더 쉽게 할 것이며 모드콤보를 삭제하고 98정도의 콤보로 회귀하는 방향도 검토중.

The system is more user friendly, seems more easier than KOF XIII, and the combo system will be similar to KOF 98 !

하지만 전작처럼 타이밍같은 것이 어렵지는 않을 것이다.

Like the previous work, the same thing, but the timing will not be difficult.

-역대 가장 많은 인원수와 금액으로 개발을 하고 있으며 지금도 인력을 구하고 있다. (어떤 기판을 사용하는지는 공개하지 않고 있다.)

Big number of development staffs and some others !

Those info are rumors, so keep in mind it may means nothing !!

On topic: The fact that KOF XIII Steam Edition is based on the Climax version is a really good touch up, considering that it will also be released on NESiCAxLive soon.

is this game 3d?

2.5D (3D Models on a 2D plane) is more likely, since it uses model sprites.

I'm glad you guys posted up the streamed matches because I ended up missing some of them while recording these matches. I was banking on the archive or youtube vids for those stream matches. lol

I was the one who posted up the videos for the quarter, semi, and finals, respectively for KOF XIII after the respective streams had ended.

Other than that, pool play was a great contribution on your end, so thanks again.

Thanks for the videos Killey!

We needed some more videos of KOF XIII pool play, so your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Congrats to Reynald for winning EVO this year!

My favorite moment was when MadKOF lost to Reynald, therefore, Reynald's Revegeance was triggered.

Guess what game is finally coming to NESiCAxLIVE...

http://via.me/-ca2vmkk

You guessed it, KOF XIII Climax.

Anyone think we should update the first page of this thread with our gametags?

Also, anyone wanna plan a date and time to all play together?

Yes to both, It'd make this easier that way.

As for date and time, would Saturday at 1:00 PM PST, 2:00 PM MT, 3:00 PM CST, or 4:00 PM EST work in the weeks where there is no KOF XIII Tournament?

I finally got to give the game a try.
