Rumor: New KOF XV Characters, Release Date Possibly Leaked Ahead of Gamescom Reveal
|
|
SNK has plans to announce new
King of Fighters XV information at
Gamescom 2021, which takes place next week from August 25th-27th. Recent images from a Japanese online store might've leaked a few of the details early... including some unannounced characters. According to the leak, KOF XV is planned for release on February 17th, 2022 —
a date which happens to be in line with the current "Q1 2022" release window.
*Potential Spoilers Ahead: The first leaked image (below) shows what looks to be an official KOF XV illustration featuring Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and Chizuru on the left (an actual team in the game), with Shun'ei and a new female character
pictured in
the center. The female newcomer, wearing a baseball cap and a yellow jacket, has two levitating hands surrounding her... which might suggest her storyline ties in with Shun'ei and KOF14 boss, Verse.
In any case, let's wait for SNK's official announcement before getting too excited. It's highly likely SNK will be showing all new KOF XV gameplay at Gamescom '21 as well —
so there's plenty to look forward to.
[UPDATE #2] SNK confirmed the Feb. 17th release date and released a new gameplay trailer at
Gamescom 2021,
confirming Ash Crimson and many more details. See TFG's updated article for all of the revealed content!
