Fighting games are nothing without their rosters, and The King Of Fighters XV is certainly no exception. Without a huge selection of characters with a wide variety of movesets and abilities to use, most fighting games would fall by the wayside, but fortunately KOF XV is filled with iconic and unique characters. Here’s everything you need to know about The King Of Fighters XV’s roster.
The base King Of Fighters XV roster is composed of 39 characters, split into 13 separate canonical teams. Here are all of the teams and characters in the KOF XV roster.
