Vice and Mature announced as King of Fighters 15’s next DLC characters

SNK took to the stage at Evo 2024 today to hold their special King of Fighters and Fatal Fury panel for those in attendance at the tournament. Like we saw with the rest of the panels today, this presentation was also live streamed for all the viewers at home.

During the panel, SNK revealed the identity of the recent silhouette for King of Fighters 15’s upcoming special DLC. As many guessed, Vice and Mature are joining the playable roster.

Despite some of the early speculation that these two fighters would occupy a single character slot and act as a duo fighter, Vice and Mature are standalone characters.

SNK announced that we can expect to see Vice and Mature join King of Fighters 15 this December. They will be releasing at the same time.

With the addition of Vice and Mature, SNK noted that the Eight Heads of Orochi are now officially going to be in King of Fighters 15. These two DLC characters along with Iori also round out the classic Team Yagami line up.

Unfortunately, no trailer or gameplay was shown for Mature and Vice during this panel. The team at SNK did, however, show several slides that give us an idea of what they’ll look like in KOF15.

The developers noted that they opted to choose Vice and Mature’s classic looks as their defaults for KOF15 because of how iconic they are. We see Vice and Mature wearing their matching gowns in the concept art provided, and both rock their classic hairdos as well.

Mature made her debut in King of Fighters ’94, while Vice followed in King of Fighters ’95. Both combatants acted as Rugal Bernstein’s secretaries before joining Team Yagami in King of Fighter ’96.

Most recently, we saw both Mature and Vice as playable characters on King of Fighters 14’s launch roster.

Check out the concept artwork for both upcoming DLC characters in King of Fighters 15 below.
