SNK revealed their previously delayed King of Fighters XV will have an open beta for PlayStation 4/5 owners next month.
The beta will feature eight characters, Yashiro, Shermie, Chris, Kyo Kunsanagi, Ioir Yagami, Chizuru Kagura and newcomer Dolores. For those curious about Dolores, Yasuyuki Oda, chief producer at SNK Corporation, describes her as follows:
Our newest character is quite mysterious, as she’s a medium who can speak to the earth and control holy soil. Also, she’s joined arms with the general Heidern and another new character, Isla. Some may have noticed the details on her clothing are similar to the embroidery found on another character, and so along with that info and the fact that she’s paired up with such a strange team means this story is something you won’t want to miss! Get ready for some awesome fights with the cool and collected mysterious Dolores.
