"KOF XV" New Character Trailer "LEONA HEIDERN" Released!

SNK's latest title in the KOF series, "THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV" (KOF XV), is scheduled for release within the year 2021.
In the previous issue, we announced the participation of "Ryo Sakazaki " and "Robert Garcia", the double heroes from "Art of Fighting", one of SNK's most popular titles.
The announcement was made at the same time that they will form the "Art of Fighting" together with the previously announced "King".
As was the case when the "Mark of the Wolves" team was announced, the participation of a team from SNK's most popular title adds a sense of stability to the game.
As we were waiting to see what characters would be announced next, a new character trailer was released!
Once again, a character from a team that is an integral part of the KOF series has been announced!

Art of Fighting Joins! "KOF XV" New Character Trailer Released!

We are eliminating them. LEONA HEIDERN!

This time, a character trailer has been released for "Leona Heidern", an important character in the Orochi Arc, from the "Ikari Team", one of the essential teams in KOF!
I'm not sure if she will be joining the "Ikari Team" in this game yet, though.
She had already appeared in the first official trailer that was released, but now she has been officially announced!
He first appeared in the KOF series in the third game, '96. She is the adopted daughter of Heidern, who replaced Heidelun who led the "Ikari Team" until '95.
To find out what role she played in the Orochi version, check out the '96 and '97 games!
The CV is Seiko Yoshida, the same as in the previous KOF XIV !

"Leona Heidern" is a character who attacks with "X-Calibur" and "Grand Saber", but she also has "Earring Bomb" as a flying tool and "Moon Slasher" as an anti-air technique. He also has "Earring Bomb", a flying tool, and "Moon Slasher", an anti-air move, so I have the impression that his play style changes depending on the player.
The "V Slasher", a super special move, is inputted in the air, so it may be a bit difficult for beginners, but it may be a chance to turn the tables on the opponent by launching it unexpectedly. Practice is the only way!
The trailer shows that the hair color changes when using super special moves in this game as well, and if you've played the previous games, you'll know why! Take this opportunity!

Will those two be participating in the game?

If Leona's participation has been announced, we can expect to see the well-known "Ralph" and "Clark" in the game to form an "Ikari team".
Considering the bond between the three of them, I hope that they will join the "Ikari Team" again, but I also hope that they will form a different team in the new game.
Above all, the fact that Orochi is involved in this new game... I have a feeling that something might happen to Leona!
What kind of character will be next? Let's wait for further news!
