Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves gets a proper reveal and is coming in early 2025
It has been 26 years, but SNK have unveiled the next entry in the Fatal Fury series, City of the Wolves, which is due to release in early 2025, check out the reveal trailer for the game below.
In addition to the gameplay trailer, we also got a character spotlight trailer, which shows off 5 fighters, one of whom is getting their series debut, check it out.
While Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Hotaru Futaba and Tizoc are all returning characters, Preecha is all new for the series. Here is her bio as provided by SNK.
Making her FATAL FURY debut, the scientist Preecha investigates the wonders and miracles of a fascinating principle known as ki (spirit energy). She also happens to be the star pupil of Joe Higashi, the acclaimed Muay Thai champ himself. While her martial arts talent can’t be denied, that’s not to say she’s only in it to win it either; indeed, Preecha fights for academic purposes, not accolades. She hates the pain, but sure is willing to endure it—as long as it furthers her research into unique and perplexing fight styles.
You can see some screens of the fighters below.
There is likely to be more in-depth details revealed when the game gets its first public showing at EVO Japan in April, but here is what SNK have said about the game so far.
All-new REV System Shifts the Fight into Top Gear
The REV System, a toolset making its FATAL FURY debut, offers unique offensive options from when the battle begins. Players can use REV Arts, REV Accel, REV Blows (while S.P.G. is active), and more until you hit your limit and the REV Meter overheats. Balance your heat level and keep the pressure on your opponent to fight at full throttle!Classic Battle Systems Evolved
Many classic FATAL FURY battle systems are back in full force, including Combination Attacks, Just Defense, Braking, Dodge Attacks, and Feints. These systems return to the fold after more than 25 years and have evolved for the modern day. Buckle up for red-hot action and competitive fights to the finish!Experience-Tailored Control Schemes
Players can choose from two control schemes: Arcade Style is based on precise, technical inputs, while Smart Style lets you perform flashy special moves and combos using directional inputs and single button presses. From fighting game newcomers to seasoned veterans, everyone will be tricked out with the right controls—tailored specifically to your level.
The company has been producing fighting games outside of Fatal Fury, like King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown and even SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, but a new entry in Fatal Fury hasn’t happened since 1999.
There are no platforms revealed for the game at this stage, but PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Arcade are the likely candiates.
