Today during a presentation as part of Evo 2024, SNK announced new characters for two of its fighting games–one currently available and one coming early next year. Kevin Rian, the justice-seeking S.W.A.T officer, has joined the Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves roster, while dual femme fatales Vice and Mature will be added to The King Of Fighters XV later this year.
Kevin comes to City Of The Wolves from the previous game, Garou: Mark Of The Wolves. His reveal trailer shows off his hard-hitting moveset, which includes the ability to crawl along the ground and rise right into a kick, as well as a few explosive punches.

Vice and Mature, meanwhile, are the butlers of longtime KoF villain Rugal Bernstein. The reveal trailer shown at Evo did not show any footage of the duo, but it did confirm that both will be added to KoF XV in December 2024.
Both announcements took place at Evo 2024, which is the largest competitive gaming event in history with over 10,000 unique entrants across eight different games. Tournaments for Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Guilty Gear Strive top the registration list, with the 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 set to launch in early 2025, also for the aforementioned platforms.
