Ahead of the debut of KOF XV DLC characters Billy Kane, Geese Howard, and Ryuji Yamazaki, SNK shared the background story for Team South Town. The short story explains why the Fatal Fury members are turning up for this tournament. People can read it on the official site.
As expected, the story begins in South Town. Geese acquired insight into KOF XIV’s Verse, and is going over it with Billy. It’s then that Ryuji pipes up, confirmed he’d been paid by Geese to participate in the tournament and aid Geese instead of Hein. Characters like Ripper and Hopper also appear.
In addition to the story, SNK also showed off the Billy, Geese, and Ryuji extra costumes that will appear alongside the KOF XV DLC characters. In each case, the default costume appears on the left. On the right is the extra costume.
First, here’s Geese Howard’s two costumes. The extra one is based on his KOF XIV appearance.
Next, here’s Billy Cane’s two looks. Like Geese, his resembles his KOF XIV outfit.
Finally, Ryuji Yamazaki takes off his coat for his extra costume.
The King of Fighters XV is available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The South Town DLC characters will debut on May 17, 2022.
