SNK has revealed that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves — the upcoming entry to the classic fighting game franchise, launches in “early 2025.” Not only that, but we even got new trailers, and an early list of the confirmed fighters included.

Check out the announcement trailer and one showcasing the characters as well. Not only that, but we get an early fighters list, and even info about the combat features!

The press release sent out also mentions the new REV system (also featured in the trailers), which is but one of the many changes made.

Fatal Fury: CoTW Combat Features:

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.

There are more features and other combat elements yet to be announced per SNK.

Fatal Fury: CoTW Preliminary Fighters List:

Check out the an early look at some of the confirmed characters making its way to the fighting game! And yes, Terry Bogard is back once again, which is to be expected.

  • Rock Howard
    • Voice Actors: Griffin Puatu (EN), Yuma Uchida (JA)
    • Bio: Born to Geese Howard, raised by Terry Bogard—Rock’s very being is one of mixed emotions and internal conflict. Despite having lived a new life with Terry, one day Rock finds himself facing off against a foe who claims to know about his past—namely his birth mother, and the fact that she is very much alive. Armed with this new information, the troubled youth resolves to find his way through life—and fight on to make that happen.
  • Terry Bogard
    • Voice Actors: Michael Schneider (EN), Takashi Kondo (JA)
    • Bio: South Town’s very own Legendary Hungry Wolf, Terry takes young Rock Howard under his wing, following an epic encounter with archrival and Rock’s father Geese Howard. The two are inseparable—until the events of a fateful tournament compel them to go their separate ways. Terry fights it out on the streets for several years thereafter, but when word of an upcoming martial arts tournament—“KOF”—reaches him, he realizes that another date with destiny awaits…
  • Hotaru Futuba
    • Voice Actors: Suzie Yeung (EN), Manaka Iwami (JA)
    • Bio: Hotaru is a young girl searching far and wide for her older brother, who disappeared when her mother passed away. As luck would have it, she would one day run into someone who looked very much like him, though he denied all knowledge of the matter. But that was then, this is now, and Hotaru still hasn’t given up: determined to fight the mysterious stranger again and convey her true feelings, she sets off into the unknown once more.
  • Tizoc
    • Voice Actors: Jalen K. Cassell (EN), Hikaru Hanada (JA)
    • Bio: An invincible symbol of justice, Tizoc now makes his triumphant return to the ring. Despite hanging up his boots for a time, the joyous cries of the children in his corner spur him into action—and bring him back home. Pledging to lift the spirits of one young fan in particular, he laces up and sets his sights on the squared circle once again. For the mighty Tizoc, one thing’s for sure: this fight will be even more furious than the last.
  • Preecha
    • Voice Actors: Mia Paige (EN), Chika Anzai (JA)
    • 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.

No platforms have been mentioned, but we’re assuming it’ll be out on consoles and PC.

Love the art style from the trailer, the trailers look legit. This is certainly a day one purchase. The character’s trailer with the English VA’s is awesome.
