Development of New DLC Character for "THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV" Confirmed! Details to Be Announced at Evo 2024!

The world of fighting games has seen a major resurgence in recent years.
It's safe to say that this era has now surpassed the time when many kids frequently visited arcades.
Recently, there have been announcements regarding "Street Fighter 6" Year 2 and new information about "Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves," creating a huge buzz worldwide. However, with a few exceptions, those are all topics for a little later.
The title where many players are currently honing their skills is likely the main tournament game for "Evo 2024," the world's largest fighting game festival, scheduled to be held from Friday, July 19, 2024, to Sunday, July 21, 2024, local time.
While many titles, including the aforementioned "Street Fighter 6," are adding new characters sequentially, one title that had been quiet for a while is "THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV" (hereafter KOF XV).
There had been no new character additions to KOF XV since the release of the final Season 2 DLC character, "Hinako Shijo," in November 2023, but an announcement regarding a new DLC character has been made!

New DLC Character Development Confirmed! Details to Be Announced at Evo!

SNK JAPAN Official X

The development of a new DLC character for KOF XV was announced on the SNK JAPAN Official X account (@SNKPofficial_jp)!
Since the release of "Hinako Shijo" in November 2023, as mentioned earlier, there had been no announcements regarding new characters or a new season. SNK had also been continuously announcing information about "Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves," so some people might have thought there would be no more major updates for KOF XV.
The announcement of a new character at this time is incredibly exciting, and if a new character is added, overall adjustments are bound to be implemented as well!
This means we can continue enjoying KOF XV for a long time!
While there is no detailed information about the additional character at this stage, the details will be announced at the upcoming "Evo 2024"! Will it be after the KOF XV finals?! We look forward to it!
And as of Thursday, June 13, 2024, a sale for the downloadable version of KOF XV is being held on certain platforms!
Some stores are offering it at a very low price, such as 75% off, so we recommend taking this opportunity to start playing!
