This past weekend, events announcing the latest game information were held in various locations. It seemed there was a relatively large number of follow-up reports, and since the release dates of many titles were also announced, planning for which games to play in the second half of the year should have progressed well.
In terms of fighting games, the Year 2 participating characters for "Street Fighter 6" were revealed, and it was decided that M. Bison will be available right away on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
Furthermore, it was announced that from the "Fatal Fury" series, Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui will join the "Street Fighter" series as the first-ever guest characters! This was an announcement that thrilled the generation who experienced "Capcom vs. SNK" and "SNK vs. Capcom" in real time!
Since the announcement that Terry and Mai would join SF6, the latest information has also been revealed for the main "Fatal Fury" series' latest title, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves!

Even Beer Bottle Cut?! Latest Footage of "Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves" Released!
The latest footage for "Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves," "Announcement Trailer #2," has been released!
The impressive short video allows viewers to see the latest game footage, which starts with a memorable scene of a boy standing in a place reminiscent of old arcades, followed by the boy's appearance as an adult.
Since the end of the video features a scene where Marco Rodrigues, who has already been announced to join, performs the familiar move Beer Bottle Cut from the "Art of Fighting" bonus stage, will the bonus stage be revived in this title? We look forward to finding out!
Furthermore, as also seen in "Announcement Trailer #2," new participating characters have been announced! Their trailers have been released!
B. JENET
Japanese Voice Trailer
English Voice Trailer
Captain of the Lilien Knights, a crew of virtuous pirates. With Kain and Grant weighing on her mind during and after the events of the previous tournament, she makes an altogether uncharacteristic decision: to stay in South Town, if not for a short while. Strangely unable to express her lingering thoughts in words, she sees the upcoming KOF tournament as a true blessing in disguise: finally, a chance to vent her frustrations to both men face-to-face!
SNK Official Website PRESS RELEASE
The Japanese CV is Mikako Komatsu, the same as in KOF XV! The English CV will be handled by Amber Lee Connors!
She participated in KOF XV as part of the Garou MotW Team, and her design was based on "Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves." In this title, however, she appears as she looks after the passage of time.
However, judging from her movements in the trailer, her playstyle has been carried over, and it seems to be further accelerated in combination with the REV SYSTEM!
Although there will certainly be differences in the fine details, playing as B. Jenet in KOF XV should serve as good preparation.
VOX REAPER
Japanese Voice Trailer
English Voice Trailer
Enter the demon: Vox Reaper. This street assassin is dispatched to hunt down and eliminate Kain R. Heinlein—and though the attempt is thwarted, he emerges from the encounter hardly worse for wear. Kain’s bodyguard Grant, having realized the youth’s talent and potential, decides to take him under his wing thereafter. Afforded a new lease on life, and intent on fulfilling his dying master’s wishes (not to mention Kain’s own grandiose ambitions), Vox stalks the bloody battleground that is South Town—a demon reborn.
SNK Official Website PRESS RELEASE
This is a new character debuting in this title! The Japanese CV is Toshiyuki Toyonaga, and the English CV will be handled by Erik Ransom!
According to the released character introduction, he seems to be connected to Kain, the final boss of the previous title "Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves," and Grant, the mid-boss.
The published trailer also shows that his techniques and movements are similar to Grant's, suggesting that he has inherited Grant's Dark Karate.
As a new character, we believe he will play a significant role in this title's story, and we can't wait for more information!
Store Pages Now Open on Each Platform!
"Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves" is scheduled for release in early 2025!
The supported platforms are PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store, and the store pages have been opened on each platform. Be sure to add the game to your wishlist right away!
It is likely that it will support cross-play, but details will probably be announced later. New characters will also be announced one after another!
Also, considering that a trial play was held at EVO Japan 2024, there will likely be a chance to try it out at future events where SNK exhibits a booth, so let's look forward to those opportunities!
Please check the "Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves" Official Website for all announcements made so far!
