KFC (previously called Kentucky Fried Chicken) has unveiled its newest offering for KFC fans. Surprisingly, its not a new flavor of fried chicken, its a new gaming console called KFConsole. While the world cannot get over on Sony's PS5 release last week and the Xbox Series X scheduled launch anytime soon, the famous fast-food chain also enters the gaming market. Is it true, though? Here's the bucket... of answers.

There's a trending keyword on Twitter over the weekend. KFC, a famous chicken fast-food chain worldwide, rumors on launching a gaming console is allegedly called "4K, 120 FPS" or the KFConsole. Like a standard gaming console like Xbox or PlayStation, it has a power button, a disc drive, and red lights that advise power consumption.
On Friday, June 12, the KFC Gaming twitter page revealed the teaser trailer for the console while quoting PS5's line "the future of gaming is here," adding "Introducing the KFConsole. #PowerYourHunger."
Sorry to burst your bubble, though. The said gaming console may have been just a marketing strategy for the fast-food chain. CNET reported that the new KFConsole has no basis after all. In fact, it was meant to be a joke during the hype on PS5 grand reveal. The KFConsole device has a release date of Nov. 12-- supposedly this year. But, of course, that was meant to be a hilarious joke for the fans. It was not yet known whether the KFC would be having further marketing stunts with this new console or not. But for now, KFC has nothing to confirm nor deny with this claim.
What can KFConsole do?
