The King of Fighters XV Turns into Quasi-Samurai Shodown with New Crossover DLC; Release Date Announced

Today SNK announced the release date of the next DLC for its popular fighting game The King of Fighters XV.

The “Team Samurai” DLC will release on October 4 on all platforms. It does pretty much what it says on the tin, bringing a team of three fighters to The King of Fighter XV.

Those are Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Darli Dagger, which was introduced for the first time in the newest Samurai Shodown game.

The announcement came with a trailer and gallery of screenshots, that you can watch below.
