SNK confirmed that OMEGA RUGAL, a free DLC character, joins THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV (KOF XV) roster on April 14th, 2022.

The manifestation of SNK Boss Syndrome himself, OMEGA RUGAL is joining KOF XV! Rugal, who appeared as an overwhelmingly strong boss character in THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’95, has made his way into KOF XV!

This dark arms merchant of death once ruled the world’s black market, and was never shy about digging his fangs into any fighter that dared challenge him. Through the power of Orochi, he was given life once again, until a group of fierce fighters brought his reign to an end. Now, due to Verse’s influence, he’s returned to the mortal realm to extract vengeance.(CV: Tsuguo Mogami)

New Game Mode BOSS CHALLENGE added!

Alongside the launch of Omega Rugal comes a new game mode called BOSS CHALLENGE. Take down the fearsome OMEGA RUGAL CPU and gain access to fun content like his special Ω Armor costume, a new stage, and new music!
