Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
- Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC
- Developer: SNK
- Release Date: April 24, 2025
26 years after the last Fatal Fury game launched, SNK’s flagship fighting franchise made its triumphant return to the consoles in April, with a new comic-inspired style and a roster of new, returning, and outright strange guest characters in tow. Its REV System is a novel take on current fighting game tropes, with certain moves and techniques filling a meter that risks powering you down if you overuse them, and each character boasts a “easy to use, hard to master” moveset for those looking for a challenge.
Plus, Swedish DJ Salvatore Ganacci, as weird as it is to see him on the main roster, is a delightfully silly addition who somehow fits right in. The other guest character, however… that’s another story. Since launch, the first season of DLC added two more guests in Street Fighter’s Chun-Li and Ken, as well as Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, and Mr. Big from previous Fatal Fury installments.
Season 2 was recently announced, with series vets Kim Jae Hoon, Nightmare Geese, Blue Mary, and Wolfgang Krauser among the fighters on their way to the game. There are two mystery characters yet to be revealed as well, with teases suggest they may be Mr. Karate and another guest in Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.
