With only one week left until the release of SNK's latest title in the KOF series, " THE KING OF FIGHTERS X V" (hereafter, KOF XV), on February 17, 2022 (Thursday), we can only wait for the game to go on sale.
From the initial characters to the DLC characters, and even before the release of the game, a pop-up store has been decided to be held.
The title has a lot of characters, and since it is a 3 on 3 team battle, which is traditional in the series, the strategy changes depending on the combination of teams and the order in which they appear, so it is both exhilarating and cool at the same time. There are many people who have not played the series before who are thinking about starting with this title.
As a fighting game, offline/online versus other players and CPU battles are the main focus, but KOF XV also has a " Gallery " where you can enjoy various movies and character voices.
The "Gallery" will include a special movie directed by world-renowned animator Masami Ohari, which has been previewed ahead of the game's release !
Animation with unique and original direction
KOF XV｜SPECIAL ANIMATED SHORT directed by MASAMI OBARI " is a fully animated movie directed by Masami OBARI(@G1_BARI), who is in charge of directing, storyboarding and supervising the animation.
The world of KOF XV is depicted in a rocking and stylish manner, set to the theme song " NOW OR NEVER," and the result is very exciting to watch.
PR TIMES
大張正己氏と言えば数々の人気アニメ、ゲームを手掛けていることで世界的に人気のアニメーターですので、誰しも彼の関わった作品に触れてきているかと思います。
個人的には"勇者"シリーズや、スパロボシリーズのイメージが強いながらも、やはり外れないのはキャラクターデザイン、総作画監督を務められた"バトルファイターズ 餓狼伝説"でしょう！
特に"2"はエンディングのZI:KILL"CALLING"に至るまで全編を通して素晴らしい作品で、当時のキッズたちをゲームセンターで"餓狼伝説2"に熱中させるには十二分過ぎるきっかけになった作品でもありますね。
今回公開されたスペシャルショートムービーで大張正己氏の"不知火舞""アンディ・ボガード""テリー・ボガード"を観れることができて震えているファンの大勢いることでしょう！
