We have known since this summer that Mature and Vice were scheduled to join KOF XV’s already crowded roster. However, with recent developments, we almost forgot about it. Fortunately, SNK has come forward to remind us and provide the arrival date for these two characters. As former secretaries of Rugal, they found refuge with Iori Yagami after their master’s death, particularly since Orochi had taken possession of Kyo Kusanagi’s rival. The following trailer shows that Mature and Vice have not lost their appeal; they retain their legendary move-sets, with the blonde favoring stolen attacks while the brunette prefers to grab her enemies and crush them into the ground.
In addition to these two surprise characters to wrap up 2024 on a high note, SNK plans to release a Ultimate Edition of The King of Fighters XV digitally. This edition will include the base game and all downloadable content for €59.99. The release is scheduled for December 12th.
Since this summer, it has been known that Mature and Vice would be joining the already full roster of KOF XV, but recent news has brought this information back to the forefront.

Content Name: “Mature + Vice” Downloadable Content Character Set Release Date: December 12, 2024 Price: $9.99 / €9.99 (set of two characters)—SNK has announced the release dates for Mature and Vice in The King of Fighters XV. Formerly Rugal’s secretaries, they sought refuge with Iori Yagami after Rugal’s death and became rivals to Orochi-possessed Kyo Kusanagi. Both characters retain their iconic move sets: Mature specializes in claw attacks, while Vice excels at grappling and slamming opponents to the ground. Additionally, SNK plans to release a digital Ultimate Edition of The King of Fighters XV on December 12th, priced at €59.99, which includes the base game along with all downloadable content.
Mature (voiced by Yu Shimamura)
Mature was once a member of the Hakkesshu, a group of eight dedicated followers aiming to revive the divine Orochi, also known as the “will of the earth.” Her swift and fluid attacks are characterized by sharp, blade-like strikes against her opponents. In contrast, her unyielding realism differs significantly from Vice’s more accommodating personality.
Vice (voice of Mayumi Saco)
Like Mature, Vice was once among the Hakkesshu, followers dedicated to resurrecting the powerful Orochi. Despite her slender build, she exhibits a resolute and violent cruelty in her combat style, characterized by unrestrained force and brutal throws. Vice is intrigued by Iori Yagami, who carries Orochi’s blood within him.
