The ninth teaser trailer was a short but revealing video featuring not only Athena returning but two new characters, Luong and Nelson. While not officially categorized, but judging by the most recent leaked list, the kicks-heavy Luong will likely be representing Kim's team while Nelson, a boxer, will probably be part of team referred to as South America.

The PlayStation Blog has unveiled a sixth teaser for KOFXIV in preparation for the upcoming C3 Show, Hong Kong.
The trailer reveals returning characters Maxima, Clark Still and Terry Bogard while also offering a look at a new character, King of Dinosaurs. King of Dinosaurs is described as a villain wrestler—a "heel" or "rudo" in lucha libre—but he shares a voice and move set with a character familiar to fans of King of Fighters and Garou: Tizoc.
It is unknown at this time if King of Dinosaurs will simply be another side of Tizoc, much as Big Bear and Raiden are the same character, or if the developers are simply trying to show a relationship between the two.
The trailer also shows off two new stages, Guanajuato Dynamite Ring and Derelict Church. Check out the trailer after the jump.

The fifth teaser trailer of The King for Fighters XIV brings back three familiar faces.
During the 2016 Taipei Game Show, SNK Playmore revealed in the new trailer that Benimaru, K' and Robert will be playable in the latest KOF game. While K' retains his recognizable attire, Benimaru has a new outfit and Robert's clothes resemble his suit from The King of Fighters 2003.
The teaser uses the same format of the fourth teaser from PlayStation Experience 2015, with dialogue from Kyo and Iori followed by gameplay of both them and the newer fighters. Upon further inspection, the fifth trailer also received some graphical changes from the previous entry.
The King of Fighters XIV is still set for the PlayStation 4 sometime this year! Check out the trailer after the jump!
Orochinagi recently released its newest issue of FGCMag, and along with scene profiles and event coverage the publication also contained an interview with KOF XIV Producer Yasuyuki Oda that was conducted at the PlayStation Experience.
While several other interviews with Oda have come out since PSX, FGCMag took some time to clarify gameplay features in KOF XIV such as the just defend-type mechanism that existed in the PSX build as well as asking about jump speed and the choice of 3-D graphics for the game.
Check out the publication here.
Osaka game center Kouhatsu hosted a session for one of the 3-D entries in The King of Fighters series featuring a well-known artist formerly involved in it.

SNK Playmore unveiled a new trailer for King of Fighters XIV at PlayStation Experience, giving the general public more character reveals and the game's cast size.
For starters, KOFXIV will contain 50 characters at launch, and continue the classic 3-on-3 format from most of the other KOF games. That means there will likely be 16 teams of 3, with 2 addition boss characters added to round out the roster. The trailer also revealed that Kula Diamond, Angel, Ralf Jones, Billy Kane and King will be part of that cast.
The KOFXIV beta is playable at PlayStation Experience, and Honzo Gonzo took some pictures of move lists so players can get an idea of how characters will play in the new title. Dream Cancel is also collecting tweets, videos and pictures of the beta.
Hit the jump for the trailer.
To get ready for its first playable appearance at Sony's upcoming PlayStation Experience, SNK Playmore released a slightly altered version of The King of Fighters XIV's second teaser.
This version of the trailer shows off a bit of Fatal Fury's Andy Bogard with his moveset featured in The King of Fighters XIII. Compared to the second teaser, this features some subtle graphical changes such as alterations to the stages and characters.
You can check out both trailers to compare after the jump! PlayStation Experience 2015 is on Dec. 5-6 so get your tickets now to try out an early build of KOFXIV!
The annual Japanese team tournament series for The King of Fighters will be returning this weekend.
The 14th iteration of Dueling the KOF will be returning to Kyoto's popular Neo Amusement Space A-Cho gaming center. The King of Fighters '98 (3v3), The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match (2v2) and The King of Fighters XIII Climax (3v3) are the featured games.
The weekend event will be streamed on Dueling the KOF's Twitch channel. From Nov. 21-23, make sure to tune in at around 5:00 p.m. PST for the stream.
The second trailer for SNK Playmore's King of Fighters XIV has made its way online and while it reveals some new information about the game, it will probably do little to calm possible fears about the game's visuals.
The trailer, which only lasts 30 seconds, shows what appears to be in-game footage of Kyo, Iori and returning KOF characters Chang and Leona.
The footage, however, also bears no HUD or interface for the game, making it look like the title is still a work in progress. Check out the teaser after the jump.
After a very short teaser trailer during Tokyo Game Show 2015, SNK Playmore's newest fighting game is going to make its public debut before the end of the year.
According to the PlayStation Blog, KOF XIV is one of the titles that will be playable in some form during the PlayStation Experience in San Franciso, California, on Dec. 5-6, 2015.
Unless the listing is some sort of mistake, this news opens up plenty of opportunities for speculation about the title, which did not look like it was anywhere near ready for public consumption in September. However, it has been several months and no one knows whether that trailer was representative of the game's progress at that time.

During the Sony press conference at Tokyo Game Show 2015, a teaser trailer revelead that King of Fighters XIII will not be the last entry in the franchise's storied history.
