Team Awakened Orochi is coming to The King of Fighters XV in August

SNK announced the DLC Team Awakened Orochi is coming to The King of Fighters XV in August 2022.

The fighters that make up this team (Orochi Shermie, Orochi Yashiro, Orochi Chris) were the ones who revived Orochi in KOF ’97.

The regular version of these three characters was revealed in April 2021 as part of Team Orochi.

There is still one more downloadable team to be revealed which will be available in Autumn 2022.

While fans wait for Team Awakened Orochi, SNK also announced The King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match Final Edition is finally available today for PS4 and Steam.

“Based on KOF ’98, this new “ULTIMATE MATCH” features a unique new “Ultimate Mode” system and game balance adjustments. Various game modes such as “Challenge Mode” and “Practice Mode” have also been added! In addition, this title adopts rollback netcode for its online matches. Online lobbies can accommodate up to nine players and features a spectator mode. Online functions have also been greatly overhauled, including a replay function for battles and settings for matchmaking conditions! Aim for the top by winning the ultimate battle between 64 popular characters from KOF’s history!,” says the press release (archive).
