The anticipation is building for the upcoming release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, set to launch in 2025. After a long period without updates, the latest trailer has unveiled exciting details about the game. The journey of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves began with its announcement by SNK at EVO 2022.
Fatal Fury has a rich history in the world of arcade fighting games, originating in 1991. While the last standalone game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, was released in 1999, characters from the series have continued to appear in crossover titles like King of Fighters and SNK v. Capcom. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be a fresh addition focusing solely on Fatal Fury characters and will pick up where Garou: Mark of the Wolves left off.
The recently unveiled trailer introduces five playable characters for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves: Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, Hotaru Futaba, Tizoc, and the newcomer Preecha. The gameplay footage showcases their unique special moves and combos, complete with both Japanese and English voiceovers. While an exact release date in 2025 is yet to be confirmed, fans are already thrilled by the inclusion of Rock Howard as the first revealed character.
