It’s been a fantastic couple of years for fighting games, and SNK is aiming to keep the run rolling with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. While not specifically announced for any platforms just yet, it’s probably safe to assume this will release on PS5, as that’s where the bulk of the fighting game community’s audience plays. The outing is expected in 2025.
It’ll be on display next month at EVO Japan 2024, however, which is slated to run from 27th April to 29th April at Tokyo’s Ariake GYM-EX. To mark the occasion, the publisher has released a couple of new trailers, introducing characters Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Hotaru Futaba, Tizoc, and Preecha. You can catch them all in action above.
A press release, shared by Gematsu, introduces some of the systems we can expect from the final title, including the offensive REV mechanic, which basically works like a heat gauge you need to manage in order to unleash powerful techniques. Classic series concepts will also return, like Combination Attacks, Dodge Attacks, et al.
One thing worth noting is that, like other modern fighters, there’ll be a traditional and simplified control scheme available. The latter will allow you to perform “flashy special moves and combos” by combining directional inputs and single button presses, so it sounds a lot like the Modern Controls option in Street Fighter 6.
