On October 4, 2022 (Tuesday), " Samurai Team " will be available for download, and all the characters for this season of " THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV " (hereinafter referred to as "KOF XV") are now available for purchase.
Even though they are fighting games, KOF and Samuspi are quite different in terms of game speed and firepower, so I was wondering how it would turn out, but I was surprised to see that it is a proper KOF while taking advantage of Samuspi's strengths. As expected of SNK.
Now that all the characters are in the game, it's time to hone your skills and start competing in earnest against rivals from around the world.
The opportunity to compete with rivals and show off your skills is the " tournament ".
