Osaka, Japan (Corporate HQ: Suita-city, Osaka, Japan, Company President & CEO：Kenji Matsubara) - 21 March, 2022: SNK CORPORATION is proud to announce OMEGA RUGAL, a free DLC character, is coming to THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV (KOF XV) on April 14th, 2022.
The manifestation of SNK Boss Syndrome himself, OMEGA RUGAL is joining KOF XV! Rugal, who appeared as an overwhelmingly strong boss character in THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’95, has made his way into KOF XV!
OMEGA RUGAL
This dark arms merchant of death once ruled the world’s black market, and was never shy about digging his fangs into any fighter that dared challenge him. Through the power of Orochi, he was given life once again, until a group of fierce fighters brought his reign to an end. Now, due to Verse’s influence, he’s returned to the mortal realm to extract vengeance.

New Game Mode BOSS CHALLENGE added!
Alongside the launch of Omega Rugal comes a new game mode called BOSS CHALLENGE. Take down the fearsome OMEGA RUGAL CPU and gain access to fun content like his special Ω Armor costume, a new stage, and new music!
Do you have what it takes to defeat Omega Rugal?
13 DLC characters coming in 2022 bringing the roster to a massive 52 playable fighters!
Adding the currently available Team GAROU (3 characters), Omega Rugal (launching April 14th), and the upcoming 3 teams (consisting of 3 characters each) launching this year—that makes for 13 DLC characters in total.
