Team Samurai announced for The King of Fighters 15, Shingo Yabuki and Kim Kaphwan confirmed for Season 2

SNK promised to give fans a taste of what was coming for the future of The King of Fighters 15 this weekend, and they weren’t lying.

Following the conclusion of their Evo 2022 grand finals, the developers announced Team Samurai Shodown is coming to KOF15 as the final DLC additions of Season 1 plus the confirmation that fan-favorites Shingo Yabuki and Kim Kaphwan are coming in Season 2.

As revealed in the new trailer, Team Samurai will consist of series icons Haohmaru and Nakoruru plus one of the popular additions from the 2019 entry in Darli Dagger.

No gameplay was shown for the time travelers, however, we can probably assume they’ll play close to how Nakoruru was approached in King of Fighters 14.

The sword wielding trio will be coming to KOF15 sometime this fall, and Season 2 will begin in 2023.

Although they were only shown off in artwork form, Shingo and Kim will be sporting new designs for the game with Yabuki sporting what looks to be a track suit and Kaphwan in a red and black shirt.

You can check out the new trailer for the 5 new DLC characters coming to King of Fighters 15 below as well as some lovely 4K screenshots.
