The King of Fighters XV will see the return of the heroes of the beloved sagas of Orochi, NESTS and Ash, bringing an explosive climax to the story started in the previous title.<\/p>\n

In terms of gameplay, it has been confirmed KOF XV will have the classic 3v3 combat format, allowing it to offer faster and more dynamic fights as well as hundreds of combinations of fighters to try.<\/p>\n

New mechanics have also been added, starting with the Shatter Strike, which lets players counter opponents’ attacks, and the improved MAX mode, which like the MAX (Quick) mode, allows combos to be executed by quickly pressing attack buttons.<\/p>\n
