Beloved series staple Joe Higashi is back in town!
Fresh, fearless offense and an all-new legend await!
Muay Thai champion Joe Higashi debuted alongside fellow heroes Terry and Andy Bogard in the series’ first entry, FATAL FURY (1991), solidifying their status as faces of the franchise for generations. Now, 26 years after his last roster appearance (1999’s FATAL FURY: WILD AMBITION), Joe makes his triumphant return as a playable character! Buckle up as the Summoner of Storms sweeps through South Town once more in FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves!
JOE HIGASHI
Voice Actors: Kevin Andrew Rivera (EN), Kozo Mito (JA)
Famed Muay Thai fighter with stiff kicks that can shatter steel. No other kickboxer can lay a finger, elbow, or knee on Joe Higashi, so the champ winds up tackling a different beast: the silver screen! His biopic documentary, The Legend of Joe (directed by none other than Cheng Sinzan), is already shooting around South Town; Joe even envisions a bit part for star pupil Preecha, whose recent tournament triumphs have done her master proud.
New stories in Arcade Mode and EOST (Episodes of South Town)!
Arcade Mode: Joe and legacy character Cheng Sinzan set out to film a major motion picture, The Legend of Joe, based on the Muay Thai master’s eventful life.
EOST: Joe’s single-player RPG adventure sees him romp through the city while reminiscing about how he met star pupil Preecha.

About FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves
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— has arrived 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…
