KOF XV is continuing to become an “everyone is here” sort of fighting game, as the Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable 3 revealed free Omega Rugal DLC and paid Team Pass 2 characters. Omega Rugal will appear first on April 14, 2022. After that, Team Pass 2 characters will begin appearing in Summer 2022.
Omega Rugal will be voiced by Tsuguo Mogami, who began voicing him in KOF Allstar. The character has been a part of the series since KOF ’95. Though, standard Rugal Bernstein did show up for the first time in KOF ’94. He typically shows up as a boss character. Which also ties into his debut here. In addition to becoming a playable character, his add-on will bring Boss Challenge Mode with him.
Here’s the KOF XV Omega Rugal trailer. At the one minute mark, it stops focusing on the new character and starts looking at Boss Challenge.
As for KOF XV Team Pass 2, its announcement means a new roadmap. The only add-ons with release dates are the already available Team Garou DLC and upcoming Omega Rugal. Team South Town and character rebalancing will appear in May 2022. Team Pass 2 will kick off in Summer 2022 Team 3. Team 4 will follow in Autumn 2022.
The King of Fighters XV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the free Omega Rugal DLC will arrive on April 14, 2022.
