Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Pre-orders Receive 3 Days Early Access, Special Edition Detailed
In an exciting update from the recent Gamescom Opening Night Live, SNK has rolled out some eagerly awaited details about its upcoming title, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. This title is shaping up to be a must-have for fighting game aficionados, packed with a rich narrative mode titled “Episodes of South Town” and enticing features such as Color Edit and the Jukebox function, enhancing personalization and player experience.
The gaming community has been buzzing with the announcement that the game will see its debut in a robust Special Edition, retailing at $59.99. This edition is not just about getting the core game, which by itself includes an impressive roster of 17 characters to choose from. It also incorporates Season Pass 1, bringing the total character count up thanks to an additional five characters that will be released as downloadable content (DLC). The rollout plan for these characters is spaced out, with the first two slated for release in the summer of 2025. This will be followed by the launch of the third character in the fall, the fourth in the winter, and the fifth and final DLC character will join the fray in early 2026.
A point of note for those eager to get their hands on Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves; at the time of release, only the Special Edition will be purchasable. This means that the base game and Season Pass 1 will not be sold separately, at least initially. This strategic move by SNK aims to provide players with a comprehensive package right from the get-go, ensuring that the gaming community has instantaneous access to the full breadth of content available.
In addition to all the in-game goodies, those who pre-order the game are in for a special treat. Pre-ordering the game grants players a three-day head start, allowing them to dive into the action as early as April 21st, 2025. And as if that wasn’t enough, pre-order customers will also receive an exclusive DLC costume. This isn’t just any costume, but one inspired by Terry Bogard’s iconic outfit from Fatal Fury 2. It’s a delightful nod to the series’ history, offering long-time fans and newcomers alike a piece of gaming legacy. However, those interested in this exclusive outfit should act swiftly and pre-order by April 23rd to secure it at no extra cost, although there is a possibility that it may become available for purchase as a DLC item later on.
This latest iteration in the famed Fatal Fury franchise promises to blend nostalgic elements with cutting-edge gameplay mechanics and narrative depth. With its awaited release, SNK is set to offer both die-hard fans and fresh faces to the series an enriched fighting game experience that pays homage to its roots while pushing the boundaries of what’s expected from the genre.
Whether you’re a series veteran eager to rekindle your skills in South Town or a new challenger looking to make your mark, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is gearing up to be an unforgettable addition to the fighting game landscape. Prepare to step into the arena come April 2025.
