Hinako Announced for KOF XV

  

After revealing a mysterious female character silhouette over the weekend, SNK officially announced Hinako Shijo will return in The King of Fighters XV as the game's final Season 2 DLC character. First appearing 23 years ago in The King of Fighters 2000, Hinako is comically a 5'1" Sumo wrestler and hasn't appeared in an SNK fighting game since way back in KOF 2003. SNK's announcement comes in the form of a teaser trailer, showing Hinako's first 3D game appearance as she performs her classic Sumo warm-up. Watch Hinako's short but sweet KOF XV character reveal trailer from SNK, below.
 

 
We expect SNK will release a longer gameplay trailer for Hinako in the near future. We'll also add Hinako's KOF 15 HD character render to this article as soon as it becomes available. The end of Hinako's reveal trailer also provides a look at the final KOF XV Season 2 Roadmap (posted below), confirming Hinako will join the game this Winter.

 


 













 
 
 

 
[UPDATE] SNK announced that Hinako will join KOF XV on November 14th, 2023 and released her full gameplay reveal trailer. To recap the most recent KOF XV DLC character releases... Najd was added to the roster on August 8th, while Duo Lon joined in on September 12th, along with some gameplay balance adjustments.
