SNK Corporation and publisher Atlus have officially announced the next post-launch downloadable character for The King of Fighters XIV.

Previously leaked via a top-level member of the fighting game community, we now know Rock Howard will be joining the game.

Raised by Terry Bogard after being abandoned by his biological father, Geese Howard, Rock Howard made his first appearance in Garou: Mark of the Wolves. His method of fighting is likened to a mix of both Terry and Geese.

A release date for Rock Howard was not confirmed. SNK previously confirmed a host of post-launch DLC characters, including: Whip, Vanessa, and Ryuji Yamazaki.

The King of Fighters XIV is currently available for PlayStation 4. In case you missed it, you can find our review for The King of Fighters XIV here (we highly recommend it!).
