SNK CORPORATION and Company President & CEO Kenji Matsubara is proud to announce that OMEGA RUGAL, a free DLC character, is coming to THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV (KOF XV) on April 14th, 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 was released on February 17th on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The Deluxe Edition features the first Team Pass, but each Team Pass and team are available separately.
