'Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves' Gets April 2025 Date, Reveals Game Modes And Features, Brings Back Mai Shiranui - Screens & Trailer

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves features new and fan-favorite characters, a REV system that offers offensive options to ignite fights, and classic battle systems evolved for modern play, all wrapped in a riveting art style.

The Fatal Fury series first hit the market in 1991, spearheading the fighting game boom of the 1990s that swept the industry thereafter. Garou: Mark Of the Wolves (released in 1999) has, for some time, served as the franchise's most recent installment.

Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves features a unique art style that stimulates the senses, new and familiar characters in the fray, an innovative REV System that supercharges the excitement, and a host of other battle systems even more robust than before.

Iconic characters from Fatal Fury and Garou: Mark Of the Wolves are ready to rumble once again.

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!

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!

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.


SNK CORPORATION announced that Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves will be released on April 24, 2025, and also revealed Mai Shiranui’s triumphant return to join the roster of memorable fighters, and detailed game modes and features coming to City of the Wolves.

Additionally, pre-orders for Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves are now open, including the newly revealed Special Edition, which includes the Base Game and Season Pass 1 for $59.99 USD / €59.99 EUR. Players who pre-order the game will receive a Terry Bogard costume based on his classic Fatal Fury appearance, as well as three days of early access starting April 21, 2025.

South Town’s Finest Unite

Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves brings together a diverse roster of familiar faces and new blood, with 17 playable characters at launch. Iconic fighters like Terry Bogard and Rock Howard return to the scene alongside debuting challengers, like the science prodigy Preecha and street assassin Vox Reaper. An additional five DLC fighters will be added in Season Pass 1.

SNK revealed the latest fighter, Mai Sharinui, the globally renowned ninja now sporting a new look.
