SNK Corporation has announced three new fighters in King of Fighters XV with the Team Orochi DLC. The DLC characters are appearing in King of Fighters XV for the first time in 19 years.
The three new fighters are Chris, Yashiro Nanakase, and Shermie, and have not been a part of the main King of Fighters series since King of Fighters 2002. Team Orochi is now back with their own story and motivations.
Each of the three characters got a little details about their characters, along with a trailer showcasing each character in action.
Chris is the vocalist of the rock group C.Y.S. Like his bandmates Shermie and Yashiro, Chris is also a member of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi. Though he has no experience in martial arts, his attacks utilize his small frame and speed to overwhelm his opponents. At first glance, Chris seems like a well-mannered young boy, however his angelic smile hides his devilish demeanor.
Yashiro is the lead guitarist of the rock group C.Y.S. However, this is all a front as, for the past 660 years, he has undergone multiple reincarnations as a member of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi- who are the true enemies of the Three Sacred Treasures. He develops an interest in the mysterious powers wielded by the strange being known as Verse and sets out with his friends Shermie and Chris to join KOF.
Charming but dangerous, Shermie is both a fashion designer and the lead keyboardist for the band C.Y.S. Her true nature is the same as Yashiro and Chris, as she herself is a member of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi. She incorporates her love for pro wrestling into her attacks, where she relies on her flexibility to toss her opponents around. Shermie is very amicable to those around her, and though she seems quite laid back, nobody really knows if this, too, is an act.
SNK has also revealed a new character for its other game, Samurai Shodown, where Hibiki Takane has now joined Fray as the second character from Season Pass 3. Two more characters are planned to be added sometime in the future.
Back in March, SNK revealed Terry Bogard and Team Fatal Fury. What do you think of the new characters in King of Fighters XV Team Orochi DLC? Post your comments below.
These are not DLC characters, these are base game characters.
