SNK's latest title in the KOF series, "THE KING OF FIGHTERS X V" (hereafter KOF XV), is scheduled for release in the spring of 2022.
Since the game will be developed on multiple platforms, many people will be able to play it in their current environment without having to prepare a new environment for KOF XV, so it is likely to have the highest playing population in the series.
The last time a trailer was released, the mysterious masked wrestler " King of Dinosaurs " was announced as an entry in the series.
Before that, it was "Ramon" who teamed up with "King of Dinosaurs" in the previous KOF XIV, and many expected that "Angel" would be announced next to form a Mexican team, but SNK But there was no way SNK would make such a straightforward announcement!
On Friday, July 30, 2021, a new character trailer will be released!
The announcement of the entry of a female character who has been a KOF fan favorite!

Athena, I'm coming! Athena Asamiya" has entered the game!

This time, a character trailer has been released for "Athena Asamiya ", one of SNK's most popular female characters!
She is one of the most popular female characters in the KOF series, so we knew she would be joining the series, but now she has been officially announced.
She was the main character in "Psycho Soldier" released by SNK in 1987, and like Ralph and Clark, she is one of the few characters that existed before Neo-Geo and is still active today. Shi Fist Chong is the 2nd character in "Psycho Soldier".
He has participated in the KOF series since the first game in 1994, and he is the only character who has been a regular participant in all of the games, including the "Gaiden" series.
He is also a character whose hairstyle and clothes change dramatically depending on the game, so he is always a focus of attention.
In this work, she wears a bob cut close to her '99 hair style, a shoulder-length top, and short shorts, which is quite cute.
The CV also changes from work to work for Athena, but these days it's probably already her image! Haruna Ikezawa!

Athena Asamiya is a character who fights using psychic powers called " psycho power " and Chinese martial arts.
Her special moves include the flying " Psycho Ball," the air-to-air " Psycho Sword," the aerial " Phoenix Arrow," and the " Psycho Reflector," which can bounce flying props back. He is a character that is easy to use.
Although her firepower may seem a little low in previous works, her cuteness more than makes up for it.

It will be interesting to see if the "Psycho Soldier Team" will be formed without Athena.
