With the release of the next King of Fighters 15 DLC fast approaching, SNK has revealed who is coming down the line. With a new trailer confirming the King of Fighters 15 next DLC fighters, the developer gave us a small taste on Najd, the one that players were already aware of, and who was introduced in the previous iteration of the franchise. Najd will be available starting August 8, 2023, but who is the next one? A completely new challenger or a familiar face?

As it turns out, it’s the latter – Duo Lon is making a much anticipated return to the series, after his first appearance 20 years ago, in The King of Fighters 2003. He was featured in a few more games, but skipped the previous chapter, returning with a bang as a King of Fighters 15 DLC fighter in Autumn 2023.

Duo Lon, also known as “The Silent Assassin,” is coming with “specific character refinements” but that’s as far as SNK goes in terms of details. Players have a few months ahead before this fighter launches, so we should learn everything about him in leading up to release. Watch his introduction – or should we say return – in the trailer below.

The King of Fighters 15 released in early 2022 to some acclaim and currently offers over 50 fighters, a few of them accessible via DLC character pack purchases. It is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
