SNK's one and only fighting game " THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV " (hereinafter referred to as "KOF XV"), with its traditional 3 vs. 3 team battles, is the hottest in the series.
The world's largest fighting game festival " Evo 2022 " was held in August 2022, and the long-awaited " Orochi Team 3" was released as paid DLC "Team 3" on the day after "Evo 2022" ended. The day after "Evo 2022" ended, the long-awaited "Ura Orochi Team & quot;was released as paid DLC "Team 3.
I have the impression that the number of players has increased, as if the generation that played KOF in the arcade back in the day has once again joined KOF XV.
There were many pleasant surprises announced at Evo 2022, including the announcement that KOF XV's "Team 4" will be the "Samurai Team" from "SAMURAI SPIRITS. The game is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2022.
With only a few days left in September 2022, we were hoping that something would be announced soon, as we can already call it autumn .
It's time to get serious!
KOF XV's paid DLC "Team 4", "Samurai Team", will be released on Tuesday, October 4, 2022!
As already announced, the team characters will include " Haomaru," the main character from the "SAMURAI SPIRITS" series, "Nakoruru," the heroine character from "SAMURAI SPIRITS" who also participated in KOF XIV, and "Nakoruru," the heroine of the "SAMURAI SPIRITS" series who will be joining the team in 2019. Nakoruru ", the heroine of "SAMURAI SPIRITS" who also participated in "KOF XIV", and " DARRY DAGGER ", a popular character who will make his first appearance in the latest "SAMURAI SPIRITS", which will be released in 2019.
Since "SAMURAI SPIRITS" is from a very different era of KOF, you may be wondering how they came to participate in KOF XV, right?
In conjunction with the announcement of the distribution date, the setting for this game has also been made public!

In addition to her own monstrous strength, she fights using the technical skills she inherited from her carpenter and the wisdom of self-defense she learned from pirates.
In order to learn shipbuilding skills she has never seen before, and most importantly, to join the fight festival, she helps Nakoruru together with Haomaru.
Nakoruru, who also participated in KOF XIV, will be joined by " Haohmaru" and "Dary Dagger" to help him in his quest.
It would make sense if they were following "Nakoruru" who once appeared in the present day! Right?
