I want to add more content in the futureEisuke OguraThe producer of the game, Yasuyuki Odaconfirmed some time ago that SNK would seek to support KOF XV for several years, to which Ogura added that the plan lies not only in adding more characters, but in content such as new modalities and free updates.
“Nothing has been decided yet, but I want to add more content in the future,” Ogura mentioned. So far, we haven’t had no mention about new game modes or some major update in development, so it will be better to wait without imagining things, because even if SNK has plans, that does not mean that they will materialize.
On the other hand, what we do have more than confirmed are the fighters on their way to the game, of which we already know some. “At the moment, the goal is to launch 12 characters throughout 2022,” Ogura explained. “After that, we’ll see the reactions community and other factors to decide what we do next.
The future of KOF XV is not the only thing SNK thinks about, as we know that the studio is already working on a new video game using Unreal Engine. Despite being mostly known for its fighting franchises like Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown, the studio is also the author of the Metal Slug series.
