The King of Fighters 15 has just received its first DLC pack in days with Team Garou, but it looks like there’s another big surprise in store for fans.
during the Japan Fighting Game Editors Roundtable Tonight, SNK announced that Omega Rugal will be coming to KOF15 next month as a free DLC.
SNK’s most famous and arguably boss character after decades away from the KOF scene is finally back and will be available to all players from April 14, 2022.
In addition to the big bad things everyone asked for, SNK is also releasing a special Boss Challenge mode that features a stronger version of Omega Rugal, which the developers promise will deliver the “from hell” experience fans have come to expect.
For those who manage to beat the bonus challenge, players will unlock the new Strange Plateau stage, as well as Rugal’s special Omega Armor outfit in the mode and a new version of the R&D completion path.
Imbued with some of Orochi’s power, Omega Rugal still obviously has his iconic insane genocidal slasher, projectiles, wall-to-wall claws, super speed and more, including a super eye laser.

After being defeated in the original title, Omega Rogal debuted as the last boss of the 95th King of Fighters, where he was defeated once and for all… except he’s back now and is definitely looking forward to the fight.
The most powerful version of Mr. Banned from some/many runners.
So it will be interesting to see how well Omega Rugal balances this time out for the overall game in KOF15.
