SNK has revealed the 37th of 39 characters for The King of Fighters XV, and it's the ‘Steel Human Weapon’, Maxima. Partner to black-clad bad guy K', Maxima first appeared in KOF ‘99, and forms part of Team K' alongside Whip.

All about duty, honour, and other serious business, Maxima possesses superhuman strength, reactions, and endurance, thanks to his cyborg body armour. Using his ‘Type-M’ fighting style, Maxima relies on heavy strikes and grapples, able to dash across the screen using his back-mounted jet engine.

Maxima also has boosters on his legs, enabling him to leap higher, while opening up his chest reveals a beam cannon, unleashing a crackling green energy ray - this is his most powerful weapon. Joining recent roster additions Angel and newcomer Krohnen, Maxima is one of the final characters coming to KOF XV.

The King of Fighters XV will be coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC on 17th February 2022. Check out Maxima in action in the trailer below.
