Joe Higashi joins the King of Fighters XV roster

Continuing with their big announcements for the launch of The King of Fighters XV, SNK has revealed their plans to introduce yet another combatant to the roster, already joined by legends like Iori Yagami and Benimaru, the Shooting Star.

Today, the company has introduced another of its classic characters as its newest addition to KOF XV, known for being an expert in Muay Thai and for his great combat skills: Joe Higashi.

Through a new trailer, accompanied by the voice of Kozo Mito, Joe will bring back his powerful fighting style that has marked him for generations, with kicks, knees and uppercuts that leave anyone in front of him out of place, with powerful combos and tons of punches.

The latest fighting location has also been revealed in more detail, situated on a beach with a vehicle and several people in the background enjoying the fight.
