We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of LATAM NXT, a new division dedicated to discovering and nurturing the next generation of fighting game talent from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Chile 🇨🇱 for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Tekken 8, and Mortal Kombat 1! 🔥

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be unveiling more details about this exciting initiative—so stay tuned!

Empowering Regional Growth

LATAM NXT isn’t just about player development; we’re also supporting local tournament organizers (TOs) by providing monthly prizing for regional events. Our goal is to fuel the competitive scene in games like Tekken 8, where the community is passionate but still growing. By injecting more prize money into tournaments, we aim to motivate local players, strengthen the grassroots scene, and create more opportunities for rising stars.

The Home of SNK Legends

Chile has long been a hotbed for exceptional SNK players, with a legacy of dominating titles like The King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown. Now, with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves on the horizon, we’re on the hunt for the next generation of Chilean warriors ready to take the world by storm!

Latin American Passion

While Mortal Kombat 1 has received mixed reactions in other regions, Latin America’s love for the franchise remains strong. The fiery passion of LATAM players is undeniable, and we want to help that spirit grow. Whether it’s through tournaments, training, or scouting, we’re committed to finding the region’s next hidden gem—a player who could explode onto the global stage.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out more announcements, including:

• Open qualifiers & talent search for Fatal Fury: CotW, Tekken 8, and MK1

• Sponsorship opportunities for rising players

• Community-driven events with prizing support

The future of Latin American fighting games is bright, and with LATAM NXT, we’re here to accelerate that growth.

Keep your eyes open—big things are coming!
