Some may remember the mid 90's anime more than the games (besides Ranma 1/2, it was perhaps the only major anime released by Viz on VHS in the mid 90's), but "Fatal Fury" is back! It's technically the first "Fatal Fury" game since 1999.

Here's the initial trailer from a month ago:

"“Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves” Adds Ken And Chun-Li From Street Fighter"​

"We’re in the middle of a rejuvenation of the “fighting game” genre of video games, as multiple classic fighting game publisher have released new games for the current generation of consoles (for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and yes, even some for the Nintendo Switch). In 2023, we had the release of Street Fighter 6, and Mortal Kombat 1 (a somewhat “reboot” of the Mortal Kombat series). In January of this year, we got Tekken 8, and coming up in October is the latest Dragon Ball fighting game (Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO).

Next up is SNK’s “Fatal Fury” series, which has the next game in the series launching in April of 2025, titled “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves”. This technically marks the first new game in the “Fatal Fury” series since 1999’s “Garou: Mark of the Wolves” in 1999 (though the Fatal Fury characters have subsequently appears in other SNK games, most notably the “King of Fighters” franchise of games).

At Tokyo Game Show 2024 yesterday, video game publisher SNK revealed they first DLC characters that will be coming to the new Fatal Fury game after launch – but in a twist, the characters are from SNK’s rival Capcom! The two characters being added are Ken and Chun-Li, from the Street Fighter franchise. Both characters will be part of the first “season pass” of content coming to “City of the Wolves”, with Ken coming in the Summer of 2025, and Chun-Li coming in the Winter of that same year. The addition of these two characters seems to be a counter contribution: Earlier this year at Summer Game Fest, Capcom revealed they were adding Fatal Fury’s “Terry Bogard” and “Mai Shiranui” characters as DLC to Street Fighter 6."
