Kukri announced for The King of Fighters 15

After doing things differently for almost a month with the Gamescom and Ash Crimson trailers, it looks like we’re back to our regular ad schedule for The King of Fighters 15.

Tonight, SNK revealed that Kukri will be the next fighter to be officially added to the KOF15 roster via a new game trailer.

As can be expected from the newcomers to KOF14 now, Kukri seems to retain almost everything he had for the previous match with some new options to give it a new look.

The hooded boy still focuses on his control over the sand, so we can see how he uses the same skills to use the big ones as projectiles, propel himself to make throws, or create clones.

While a good number of the cast has received new Climax Supers for KOF15, Kukri seems to simply keep all of his KOF14 Supers, although we can only see the start of the big one at the end of the trailer.

One thing that now seems a little different is that Kukri looks a little less serious and instead more eccentric as if portrayed as SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy as the main antagonist of the spin-off.

Although he joined Sylvie Paula Paula and Mian in KOF14, he is much more likely to be part of a new team for the next tournament.

In its previous finale it was revealed that Kukri was working with Elisabeth to revive Ash Crimson in the world of the living, so they will probably form a new group for KOF15.

You can watch Kukri’s full game trailer below, as well as some lovely 4K screenshots of the guy in action.
