After 26 years, FATAL FURY is back!

New REV system supercharges the excitement!

 

SNK’s beloved 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. But that is all about to change: 26 years on, a brand-new entry—FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves—is set to arrive on the scene!

FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves features a unique art style that stimulates the senses, an innovative REV System that supercharges the excitement, plus a host of other battle systems even more robust than before. The game also breathes new life into the series by introducing two distinct control schemes (ensuring fun and excitement for newcomers and veterans alike) as well as other fresh features and elements.

The streets of South Town are a hotbed of action, wild dreams, and even wilder ambition. Here, at long last, a new legend is about to unfold…

■CHARACTERS

Memorable fighters from far and wide descend on the streets of South Town!

The action kicks off with a total of 22 characters: a diverse 17-member roster of familiar faces and new blood, plus five DLC fighters in Season Pass 1. Every character is vibrantly presented in CotW’s unique art style, which is guaranteed to stimulate the senses.

 

 

BATTLE SYSTEM

All-new REV System supercharges the excitement!

Introducing the REV System, a brand-new toolset that offers unique offensive options from the moment the battle begins! 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. The all-new REV System—fight at full throttle and supercharge the excitement!

 

Classic battle systems, evolved!

Back in full force, and then some! Combination Attacks, Just Defense, Braking, Dodge Attacks, Feints, S.P.G. (Selective Potential Gear)—classic battle systems from the Fatal Fury series return to the fold after more than 25 years, evolved for the modern day. Buckle up for red-hot action and competitive fights to the finish!

 

Two control schemes—fun for newcomers and veterans alike!

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, there’s plenty of fun and excitement to be had—tailored specifically to your level!

 

 

■STORY

Fates intertwine in the tumultuous struggle for Geese’s legacy!

The game’s Arcade Mode propels players into the iconic world of South Town, as the eponymous city of the wolves vies for the legacy of the great Geese Howard. Mother, son, brother, master, dear friends, deadly foes—a tempest of emotions, memories, and more fuels these fighters as they hurtle toward a long-awaited date with destiny. Uncover the mysteries of the past and discover the truth of tomorrow as the epic South Town saga comes to a head!
