SNK Corporation has announced that The King of Fighters XV is Omega Rugal as a free DLC character in the game on April 14th, 2022. In addition, the game will also be adding a new game mode called Boss Challenge.
Before we dive into the details of the character and the new game mode, check out the trailer below:
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.
In addition to the launch of Omega Rugal in The King of Fighters XV, a new game mode called Boss Challenge will also be making its way into the game. Players will now be able to take down the fearsome Omega Rugal CPU and get access to fun content like his special Ω Armor costume, a new stage, and new music.
With Omega Rugal joining the game, this brings the total DLC character to 13 in total. Add that to the launch roster of 39 characters, The King of Fighters XV will boast a massive 52 characters.
