Posted onAuthoradminComments Off on The King of Fighters XV Launches Today for Xbox Series X|S
Six years have passed since KOF XIV hit the scene and finally, its sequel is here. We poured our all into making King of Fighters XV the absolute best in the series, and we hope that it has a healthy and robust launch. KOF XV will feature 39 fighters at launch, comprised of previous heroes of other KOFs, resurrected characters, and fresh faces new to the tournament. For fans of the series, KOF XV will be the stuff dreams are made of!
In terms of the game system, KOF XV continues with the iconic 3 on 3 team-based fighting structure, while also incorporating new systems to make the game feel fresh and snappy. What we have is something both fans of the previous game and new players to the series alike are sure to enjoy.
Of course, KOF XV also features rollback netcode for smooth online play. There are many different kinds of online modes so be sure to tinker around when the game comes out!
After launch, we have plans for DLC characters and other updates, so look forward to what’s in store for KOF XV!
A total of 39 characters are participating!
KOF XV features a whopping 39 characters, including classic popular characters, resurrected fan favorites, and those crucial to the unfolding events. There will also be 2 DLC teams (3 characters each) to be released in the future. This is the first time the heroes from each Saga have come together, making this the hottest dream match yet.
12 DLC characters coming in 2022 bringing the roster to a massive 51 playable fighters!
A total of 12 DLC characters are planned to release this year after KOF XV launches February 17, 2022. The first wave of fighters is Team 1 (Team Garou) which will release in March, with the second wave Team 2 (Team South Town) releasing in May. Team 3 releases sometime during summer with Team 4 releasing in autumn. Each team is comprised of 3 fighters, so the total number added onto the current roster of 39 means players can expect to fight with 51 star-studded characters in KOF XV.
KOF’s story reaches its climax!
The latest KOF Saga continues from the previous title in Story Mode. Heroes from the Orochi, NESTS, and Ash Sagas have all joined this KOF. This time, the story is coming to an explosive climax.
The culmination of the series’ battle system!
KOF XV features its iconic 3 on 3 team battle system. New to the series is Shatter Strike, a mechanic that enables players to counter enemy attacks. Players can also experience an improved Max Mode, as well as Max Mode (Quick). The Rush function allows for combos to be carried out all by rapidly pressing attack buttons. All these features, including revamped and vibrant special moves, will ensure fights in this game feel more explosive than ever. Strap in, because KOF XV features a battle system bursting with speed and excitement unlike any other.
Easy and versatile online play!
KOF XV features rollback netcode. There’s a ton of online features including Ranked Match, Casual Match, Room Match, and Online Training. There’s also the new Draft VS mode, which pits you against an opponent as you try to nab your favorite character before they can.
