The King of Fighters XV has been delayed to Q1 2022 because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the games development.
A message from KOF XV producer, Yasuyuki Oda
There are many fans who are anticipating the release of KOF XV in 2021, however at this point in time, we unfortunately have to announce that KOF XV will now be launching within the 1st quarter of 2022.
The development timeline we set out to reach in the beginning has been affected by the ever-still rising cases of COVID-19 within Japan. We have made the ultimate decision in the end that the product’s quality must come first, and so with that decision comes an altered release window.
We sincerely ask for your kind patience and understanding as our development teams continue to work hard on KOF XV as we draw closer to its release.
The Kind of Fighters XV was announced at EVO 2019. A new gameplay trailer was revealed in the beginning of the year. There are six fighterw that will be part of the game. They are K, Kyo Kusanagi, Leona, Benimaru, Shun’ei, and Mai Shiranui.
