SNK has announced two characters for upcoming fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as part of Summer Game Fest 2024.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is the first new entry in the Fatal Fury series in 26 years, and follows the 1999 release of the much-loved Garou: Mark of the Wolves. It’s due out early 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X/S. Nintendo Switch and Xbox One miss out.
During Summer Game Fest 2024, SNK revealed newcomer Vox Reaper, described as a street assassin “on a mission,” and confirmed the return of B. Jenet, a character from both Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters. Story-wise, Vox Reaper was hunting down Garou: Mark of the Wolves final boss Kain R. Heinlein when Kain’s bodyguard Grant takes him under his wing.
B. Jenet, meanwhile, is a pirate captain who enters the upcoming KOF tournament because she sees it as “a chance to speak through action instead of words.” Vox Reaper and B. Jenet join a roster of playable characters that already includes the likes of Andy Bogard, Terry Bogard (one of Street Fighter 6’s just-announced Year 2 DLC characters), and Rock Howard.
IGN sat down to play Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves in March and came away impressed. “You can tell a lot about a fighting game by how good it feels to sit down and play, and let me tell you, dear friends, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves already feels really good,” we said.
