During a presentation today as part of Evo 2024, SNK announced two new characters for their fighting games, one available now and the other coming early next year. Justice-seeking SWAT officer Kevin Lian has joined the Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves roster, while two femme fatales, Vice and Mature, are coming to The King Of Fighters XV later this year.
Kevin returns to City Of The Wolves from his previous game, Garou: Mark Of The Wolves. His reveal trailer shows off his powerful skills, including the ability to crawl along the ground and kick right in, as well as a few explosive punches.

Meanwhile, Vice and Mature are the butlers of longtime KoF villain Rugal Bernstein. While the reveal trailer shown at Evo didn’t feature any footage of either character, it’s been confirmed that both will be added to KoF XV in December 2024.
Both announcements were made at Evo 2024, the largest competitive gaming event in history with over 10,000 unique attendees across eight different games. Tournaments for Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Guilty Gear Strive were at the top of the registration list, with returning retro fighter Street Fighter III: Third Strike taking fourth place overall.
The King Of Fighters XV is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves is also scheduled to release on the aforementioned platforms in early 2025.
