SNK bombarded fans with a wealth of new information about its upcoming title, King of Fighters 15, at gamescom 2021 earlier this week. After airing a quick trailer showing a handful of new characters during Gamescom’s pre-show Opening Night Live, a longer follow-up video was released that provided us with a number of juicy details.
While the new fighter reveals that it was certainly exciting, there is another important addition to the game that definitely appeals to struggling players. True, King of Fighters 15 will have a clean recovery code.
“Rollback Netcode allows fighters to take their skills to the next level!” says part of the new trailer. Because the type of network code that is incorporated into modern fighting games is one of the most important aspects for fans, especially here in 2021, where people are restricted to online gaming as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. , SNK made a point to answer that question for the community here with its great revelation.
In addition to the setback, the King of Fighters 15 online experience seems to be particularly robust. According to the trailer, fans can also look forward to an online training mode that allows them to refine their skills with friends.
Online training is one of those features that we don’t see enough in modern wrestling titles, although some have introduced it in the past. KOF15 is also preparing to include classified games, casual matches, “Match Match”, which is likely that online lobbies can fight friends, replays, online profiles and rankings.
We also met the “Draft Vs.” mode that is announced to have the battle “starts from the character selection screen”. While we’re not yet sure of the specific features of this mode, it seems as if this is once a character is chosen, the other player can’t select them.
KOF15 will also see a combined test mode, where players will be asked to perform character-specific sequences that increase in difficulty as they progress. And if the combos get too intense and you just need some relaxing time, the game’s DJ Station will allow you to sit back and enjoy over 300 songs from the franchise.
SNK had an excellent presentation with this latest trailer. While the game has looked good before, this latest information makes it look great – everything looks more polished and KOF15 looks like it will be a strong package from the door.
