Fury Before the Fury

by

The much-anticipated new addition to the Fatal Fury series, titled “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves,” comes after “Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves” from 1999, initially available in arcades and later on the Sega Dreamcast. Crafted by KOF Studio at SNK, renowned for their work on the King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown franchises, these games offer a distinctive mix of strategy and combat tactics that sets them apart from titles like Street Fighter and Tekken.

The battles are entertaining, diverse, and simple to learn, yet they offer a great deal of complexity for those who enjoy fighting games. Here’s some information on when you can start playing the game “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves” and if there’s an early access option available.

When Will Fatal Fury: City Of Wolves Be Released?

The action-packed game “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves” officially releases on April 24, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. But here’s a bonus for preorders – you can start playing it three days early, on April 21, 2025, without any additional cost! It’s great to see a publisher offering this early access at no extra charge. Plus, the base game will include the first season of fighters as part of the package. As an added perk for preordering, you’ll receive a “Fatal Fury 2” DLC costume for Terry Bogard. Known for his appearances in both “Fatal Fury” and SNK’s “King of Fighters” series, Terry Bogard is a regular fighter in the latter.

Season One Pass Details

In essence, the main version of the game is equivalent to the Special Edition since it encompasses the Fatal Fury: City of Wolves Season Pass. On the day of release, players will initially be able to choose from 17 characters, including the guest character Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, five more characters are set to be added to the Season One Pass during 2025 and the beginning of 2026.

  • DLC Character 1 – Andy Bogard is scheduled for Summer 2025.
  • DLC Character 2 – Street Fighter’s Ken is scheduled for Summer 2025.
  • DLC Character 3 – Joe Higashi is scheduled for Fall 2025.
  • DLC Character 4 – Street Fighter’s Chun Li is scheduled for Winter 2025.
  • DLC Character 5 – Mr. BIG is scheduled for early 2026.

In contrast, individuals who preorder the physical versions of “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves Deluxe Edition” won’t receive early access like those who opt for digital launches. This special edition comes with exciting extras such as a steelbook case, a 2-disc soundtrack, stickers, a map, a poster, and an intriguing 100-page artbook.
