After attracting his fan base the other week, SNK confirmed that Team Sacred Treasures will indeed appear as an official team in King of Fighters 15 with the long-awaited return of Chizuru Kagura, joining Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami.
The trailer shows footage of Chizuru, who makes her return to the series after an 18-year absence, with her last playable appearance in King of Fighters 2003.
As the first character to enter the game that was not part of King of Fighters 14, this also makes Chizuru’s 3D debut with a beautiful recreation of his dark movement in the new graphic style of the series.
The implications of the story of bringing together the three Sacred Treasures have yet to be seen, as the three have never been an official team in a game before. In tradition, the three had to cooperate to destroy Orochi, so there must undoubtedly be a big threat for them to put aside their differences and come together again. You can check out his game trailer below.
