SNK unveiled a brand new King of Fighters 15 trailer featuring new content reveals for Season 2. Sylvia Paula Paula and Najd have been officially announced to join the game’s roster as DLC.
On top of new fighters, the first in line for Season 2 has been fully unveiled now. Shingo Yabuki gameplay and his release date have been revealed, and SNK has shared an updated content road map for the upcoming season.
SNK noted that Shingo will be the first Season 2 character to join King of Fighters 15 when it kicks off on January 17. He will launch alongside a massive character balance update.
In his official gameplay trailer, Shingo can be seen encountering his idol Kyo and having a back and forth with him. His moveset in KOF15 features several flying kicks, large haymakers, and even a spinning uppercut that resembles Kyo’s.
For the first time, SNK has also revealed how King of Fighters 15’s Season 2 DLC release will work. Instead of seeing three characters released at the same time as a team, the company will launch six additional fighters all individually.
Shingo will start the season off on January 17, Kim Kaphwan will join in Spring 2023, and both Sylvie Paula Paula and Najd will follow in Summer 2023, though it seems as though they might release separately.
To round things out, another mystery character will see a release in Autumn 2023, and the final fighter of Season 2 will launch in Winter 2023.
