Today, SNK CORPORATION announced that THE KING OF FIGHTERS XV (KOF XV) will receive a free, significant update on January 30, 2024, introducing the Advance Strike mechanic. The Advance Strike allows players to perform more aggressive plays by protecting themselves against throws and attacks. The Standard Edition of KOF XV is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Windows, Steam, and Epic Games Store) for $59.99/€59.99, and the Deluxe Edition for $84.99/€84.99.

The Advance Strike causes a hard knockdown on hit, leaving players’ well-placed for more offense. This offensive move costs half a power gauge bar, but this is restored on both hit and block. Unlike the counterattack Shatter Strike, the Advance Strike grants a counter hitbox against throws partway through; if it lands while the counter is active, players’ opponents will crumple to the ground (and be prone to follow-ups).
KOF XV is the latest entry in SNK’s THE KING OF FIGHTERS fighting game series. Inheriting the series’ traditional 3-on-3 Team Battles, KOF XV introduces the Shatter Strike system that allows players to counter and defend against attacks. The game received critical acclaim for its vast character roster, team-based gameplay, and smooth online performance.
