We do not know if it is the change of new Chairman / CEO that is the cause, but it lacks rigor on the side of SNK at the moment. After having released the King of Dinosaurs trailer 24 hours in advance, the Japanese publisher balances Athena Asamiya’s trailer 24 hours late. Fortunately, that will not prevent us from appreciating the changes made to the KOF pop idol who is coming back brighter than ever. There is indeed a big redesign, especially in her look since Athena appears less “unbearable kid” than in episode KOF XIV. We don’t know if it’s the “qi bao + square cut” combo that does this, but the young woman appears with more confidence and as a young woman ready to take the lead of her new team, that of the Super Heroine, alongside Mai Shiranui and Yuri Sakazaki. It’s unclear if his lifelong Psycho Team partners will return to another team or if they were simply kicked out of this episode. Wait & see, just like the release date of this KOF XV, scheduled for early 2022 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, PS4 and Xbox One. No one will be harmed.
