The key character in the story, "Dolores" is joining the game!

The character trailer for Dolores, who was also depicted in the official trailer and main visual for KOF XV, is a completely new character!
In the official trailer, it looked like she was going to be a big part of the story of KOF XV, and now we can officially announce her.
The CV is played by Yuko Kaita, who personally has a strong image of a mature older sister . Dolores" also gives a cool impression.

She is a new character, so I don't know what kind of performance she will have, but she is good at communicating with the spirits of the earth, and fights by manipulating holy mud.
He is one of the resurrected from the Baths and is said to be a " great hermit " who lives deep in Africa, but there are still many mysteries at this stage.
Kukuri," who has been announced as a character in the character trailer, appears in the game, and there seems to be some similarities in their special moves...we 'll have to wait for more information on that!

No way! The three of them! Formation of a rival team!

Along with the announcement of "Dolores," a new team was also announced!
Dolores ", " Isla ", who is also a new character, and " Heidelun " will form a "Rival Team "!
I understand that new characters "Isla" and "Dolores" will be on the team, but I didn't expect "Heidelun" to be on the team!
Heidelun" is also depicted in the main visual of KOF XV, so it seems that he will be a big part of the story.
It seems that they are the "rival team" to the "hero team" of the main character "Shun'ei," so it will be interesting to see how the story unfolds!
