Story
It is the present day, 2022 AD.

A special martial arts tournament has been planned by a mysterious organization, only named Gaia Corporation.

Fighters all over the world have been invited to join the event.

Many countries are right now focusing on the exhibition and hope who is going to be the champion team.

The ceremony have been opened, edorsed by many celebrities, influencers and Vtubers. The hype was intense than ever before in human history.

However, unbeknownst to them, a sinister shadow is lurking around somewhere in Japan's biggest tournament with only one name...

Umbra!

Gameplay
The gameplay retains the basics of what a King of Fighters game is. It is a three-team fight with Light and Heavy only buttons, Blowback and Roll Dodges. If one member is defeated, the next member will come in and this repeats it until all three are defeated. It also retains elelments that are found in The King of Fighters XIV and XV, such as Rush Combos, MAX mode and EX Specials, as well as Roman Cancel from Guilty Gear (done by pressing all four buttons) and Evade from KOF '94 (done with + ).

This game introduces two new mechanics, one is Sky Flight. By doing +, you will sent the opponent into the air and automatically jumps at them. Then the player must press a combination of button inputs to perform a 10-hit aerial combo while the background turns blue (Light) or red (Heavy), basically a fusion of Rage of the Dragon's Impact Combo and Rival Schools' Aerial Combos. It costs 1 bar to use.

The second mechanic is Shadow Assist, which summons a shadowly version of one your team members to attack your opponent. It may be weak, but it allows the shadow to stun them for along period of time for one use, allowing the summoner to perform a quick combo. Like Sky Flight, it costs 1 bar and be done by pressing clicking the L3 joystick on the PlayStation or move the right joystick on the Switch and XBox.

Characters
The main roster of characters are 50, with 2 of them being unlockable bosses. Each 3 characters are split into one canonical team, but you can edit your own team regardless. Once you beat Arcade Mode with the correct team, you'll get their ending, as well as a picture based on the canonical team you selected. It's been confirmed that there will be only 3 seasons of DLC, which will double the roster size to 68 (72 if count the Alternate Fighters).

Hidden Final Boss
To unlock this fight, you have to deliver an Ultra Desperation Move to the last member of the team and gain 2 perfects in a single match during Arcade Mode. Once you done it, the hidden final boss will take Akuma's place, but you cannot play as him in Online Mode.

Alternate Characters
Much like old KOF games, some of the characters have alternate variants of themselves with different movesets called EX fighters. It can be used by highlighting one on the character select screen and press Light Punch, Light Kick and Heavy Punch together to make it appear.

DLC Roster
Teams are released via Downloadable Content (DLC). All the characters are available through the Season Pass.

Special Edit Teams
These type of teams can be used in many modes. By playing some formations in Arcade Mode, you will unlock thier images, as well as three songs based on the team.
