At today’s Evo panel, SNK shared some exciting announcements about King of Fighters 15 as well as Samurai Shodown.
For The King of Fighters, this includes both short- and long-term DLC, such as the release date for the recently revealed Team Awakened Orochi characters, and for SamSho, it’s all about the network code.
The developers took to the stage to provide some details and screenshots of how the next three Team Awakened Orochi fighters will play, as well as alternate versions of Shermie, Yashiro, and Chris. They also offered a release date for the next team: August 8th.
The panel also indicated that it is working on cross-platform play for KOF15, but it won’t be ready for play until sometime in 2023. Currently, Sony console users can play with each other, but not with Microsoft users. However, this should change in the coming months.
Evo’s biggest shows tend to be on finals day, and SNK shared that they haven’t shown everything yet this weekend. While we are very excited to see Team Awakened Orochi in three days, we can expect another new team soon as we have another show planned for Sunday.
Finally, another season of The King of Fighters 15 DLC has been confirmed and more information will be released on Sunday.
Released in 2019, Samurai Shodown gets a net withdrawal code to play online on almost all platforms. The developers are targeting spring 2023 for this update, and it will be available on all platforms except the Nintendo Switch (due to technical limitations, according to the developers).
