SNK has now announced the 13th character that will be appearing on The King of Fighters XV roster, and that fighter is Mai Shiranui. Mai is an SNK stalwart having made appearances in various King of Fighters and Fatal Fury, as well as appearances in Dead or Alive and Capcom vs SNK.
King of Fighters XV was first announced back at EVO 2019, right at the end of the final day of the fighting tournament. The sequel will be powered using Unreal Engine though SNK have yet to confirm which platforms it will launch on. We’d expect KOF 15 to appear on all current consoles, or at least PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

The series’ last outing, King of Fighters XIV, released nearly three years ago and was a quiet success for the developer. In our King of Fighters XIV review we scored the game a 7/10, saying “as a new entry in the series that pushes it into uncharted territory, King of Fighters XIV is an admirable effort. Boasting a huge roster, accessible action and smooth gameplay, there’s a lot to like, but the mediocre transition to 3D and inconsistent netcode hold it back from greatness.”
Last week, SNK revealed character King and a couple of weeks ago the developer revealed Yashiro.
