Was none. Won't be one. The story from KOF '03 will be continued, but not in a game called "'04". Most likely, the KOF games won't have the year in the title any more.

I know that KOF2004 won't appear, but strangely enough, the Dec 2004 issue of Arcadia magazine does have KOF 2004 slotted in their upcoming games list for 2005.

Make what you will of it.

It could happen, but kof04 in 2005 just seems strange

King of Fighters skipping 2004
SNK Playmore says that a new King of Fighters 2004 isn't in development, but a new installment is currently in the works.
TOKYO--While the King of Fighters series has traditionally appeared on an annual basis with each of its games titled with the year of its release, the long-time tradition has come to an end. According to Impress Gamewatch, SNK Playmore will not release a King of Fighters 2004, though the company is currently developing a new KOF installment. The news was disclosed by KOF series' current main illustrator Falcoon during the King of Fighters tenth anniversary party, which took place in Japan today.

"It [the next King Of fighters] won't come out as 'KOF2004', but its development is going smoothly," Falcoon said during the event "We're making a KOF that's different from a 'KOF2004', or a 3D game like 'KOF Maximum Impact', or the 'KOF NeoWave' that was released on the Atomiswave [arcade platform]."

It is undetermined whether or not SNK Playmore will continue numbering the KOF series by its release year after skipping 2004. The new KOF installment is expected to hit arcades after the release of NeoGeo Battle Coliseum for the Atomiswave, which SNK Playmore is currently focusing its development on.

Well, they typically released the KOF game during the summer months of the actual year it is named after. However, for obvious reasons, things have slipped back a bit towards the end of the year. Financial troubles have a way of doing that.

Still, the cool thing about all of this is that two things happen.

1. They can concentrate and put much more effort into future KOF games and have time to implement and test more features. Not to mention even more thought can be allocated to other aspects of the game.

2. It'll actually give us some REAL time to actually attempt to learn the games better. I mean, pretty much not one of us had time to really tear apart a KOF game before the next one was released. That's why you have so many of us going back to play older versions, just to catch up on all that we missed. There've been times I felt like I've just touched upon a KOF only to see the next release coming out already.
