The King of Fighters XV has managed to surpass XIV's massive roster, with 59 characters and counting! As in every KOF game, you have to pick 3 characters in each match, therefore the massive roster makes a lot of sense.
The bad part, is that a pretty considerable amount of characters in XV come as DLC (18 so far):
- Team Pass 1
- Team Pass 2
- Fighter Pass (also available as individual DLC)
The good news, is that we have also received 2 free additional characters, the Boss characters Omega Rugal & Goenitz.

Bio (website): One of the cybernetically modified humans created by the secret syndicate known as NESTS.
Her fighting style is something she calls "Perfunctory♥", which is an unorthodox fighting style that makes use of an 'unchain' system that involves multiple throw techniques. All this means she has unparalleled strength when up close. She loves to joke around, and her personality isn't something one can pin down. Leaving her life in Mexico behind, she joins Krohnen and enters KOF.

Daughter of the Behrn family, an influential international cartel, she became bored of her luxurious but tedious life and ran away to form the Lillien Knights.

Bio (website): Born into a rich family and raised by his Japanese father and American mother, this shooting star takes fighting to a whole other level. His slender frame provides an excellent medium which enhances his electrostatics, and combining that with his chiseled legs (no doubt from years of shoot boxing experience), his kicks hit like bolts of lightning.
However for this tournament, his friend and rival, Kyo Kusanagi, all but forced him into this position where he has to watch over both Shun’ei and Meitenkun.
