The King of Fighters series is back six years after the release of KOF XIV with a great sequel that will undoubtedly live up to the fighting legacy the franchise has carried since its first release in 1994.

The King Of Fighters XV continues the KOF series’ legacy with its iconic 3-on-3 team battles.

Different teams have different stories and endings.

SNK Corp. announced that Omega Rugal, a free DLC character, is coming to The King Of Fighters XV(KOF XV) on April 14, 2022.

Rugal, who appeared as an overwhelmingly strong boss character in The King Of Fighters ’95, has made his way into KOF XV. This dark arms merchant of death once ruled the world’s black market and was never shy about digging his fangs into any fighter that dared challenge him. Through the power of Orochi, he was given life once again, until a group of fierce fighters brought his reign to an end. Now, due to Verse’s influence, he’s returned to the mortal realm to extract vengeance.

Alongside the launch of Omega Rugal comes a new game mode called “Boss Challenge”. Players can take down the fearsome Omega Rugal CPU and gain access to fun content like his special Ω Armor costume, a new stage, and new music. Do you have what it takes to defeat Omega Rugal?

Adding the currently available Team Garou (three characters), Omega Rugal (launching April 14th), and the upcoming three teams (consisting of three characters each) launching this year — that makes for 13 DLC characters in total. Add that to the launch roster of 39 characters, and in total, KOF XV will boast a massive 52 characters.

The King Of Fighters XV is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC at $59.99/€59.99.
