Key Takeaways
- Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has added Ken Masters and Chun Li from the Street Fighter franchise to its roster.
- The fighting game is expected to launch in April 2025 and will be the first new Fatal Fury game in 26 years.
As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the announcement of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has sent shockwaves through the gaming community. The addition of Ken Masters and Chun-Li from Street Fighter is a masterstroke by SNK, bridging the gap between two iconic fighting game franchises.
In an exciting development, the upcoming 2D fighting game titled “Fatal Fury: Den of the Wolves” has unveiled that two characters from the “Street Fighter” universe, Ken Masters and Chun Li, will now be playable. The anticipated release date for “Fatal Fury: Den of the Wolves” is set for April 2025. Over the last few months, developer SNK has been gradually revealing new additions to its roster.
In 2022, during the EVO fighting game competition, it was announced that “Street of Raging Wolves” (an alternative title for Fatal Fury) would be making a comeback. This series has been dormant since its last game release in 1999. A sneak peek into the gameplay was shown in June, and ever since then, SNK has been revealing and hinting at collaborative fighters as well as the reappearance of iconic Fatal Fury characters in the roster.
The latest sneak peek for the upcoming game offers a glimpse of revamped appearances for both Ken and Chun-Li, reminiscent of their iconic looks from early Street Fighter games. Ken is depicted in his red, sleeveless martial arts outfit, while Chun-Li is shown in her blue traditional Chinese dress. These snapshots contrast with images of Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui, classic characters from Fatal Fury, who are set to reappear in the upcoming game. As of now, the game boasts a roster of 16 characters, but there’s room for more introductions before its release next April.

Although SNK and Capcom were rivals during the 1990s, vying for supremacy in the fighting game genre, their flagship fighters have frequently crossed paths in each other’s universes. In Street Fighter 6 this year, Terry and Mai from Fatal Fury joined the roster as part of the Year 2 pass. This was not the first time Street Fighter 6 introduced characters not originally associated with the Street Fighter universe; however, it marked the debut of characters from another developer’s fighting game series. The warm response to this move encouraged producer Shuhei Matsumoto to express his hope for more crossover characters to be added in the future.
As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement when I think about the upcoming SNK game reviving Fatal Fury after over two decades. Yet, it’s clear that these iconic characters haven’t been idle. The King of Fighters has hit its 30th anniversary this year, and while it may have run parallel to Fatal Fury for six years, releasing its latest installment in 2022, it’s also served as a platform for fighters from various SNK universes, such as Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari Warriors, and Psycho Soldier. It’s like they’ve been keeping the SNK legacy alive all this time!
