Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves — SNK’s Fighting Legacy Reborn

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves marks the triumphant return of SNK’s iconic fighting game franchise, making its comeback after a 26-year hiatus. Launching globally on April 24, 2025, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Fans can also pick up a Special Edition priced at $59.99/€59.99, which includes the base game and Season Pass 1, featuring five additional downloadable characters released post-launch.

🔥 New Features & Gameplay Innovations

City of the Wolves introduces the brand-new REV System, designed to deepen combat strategy. Key mechanics include:

  • REV Arts – powerful special moves
  • REV Accel – quick cancels for fluid combos
  • REV Blows – high-risk, high-reward finishers

These moves are all tied to the REV Meter, which fills as players attack or defend, rewarding aggressive and tactical play.

Classic mechanics like Just Defense, Combination Attacks, and S.P.G. (Selective Power Gauge) return with updated mechanics suited for modern fighting game standards.

Players can select between two control schemes:

  • Arcade Style – for precise, manual input
  • Smart Style – simplified commands to make combos accessible for newcomers

The game launches with 22 fighters, blending returning legends and new challengers. Veterans include:

  • Terry Bogard
  • Rock Howard
  • Mai Shiranui

Newcomers include:

  • Preecha – a brilliant science prodigy
  • Vox Reaper – a stylish assassin with a mysterious past

Additional characters will arrive via Season Pass 1. While Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter were mentioned in fan speculation, no official crossovers have been confirmed by SNK as of now.
