A recent leak has sent waves of excitement through the gaming community, revealing key details about the characters set to enter the fray in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. This highly anticipated release marks a triumphant return for the series, nearly three decades after Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves graced our screens. With fans eagerly awaiting this revival, it’s no wonder that news of the game’s roster is stirring up so much buzz.
SNK has already pulled back the curtain a little, confirming a base roster of 17 fighters. Iconic characters like Terry Bogard and Rock Howard are making a comeback, joined by others like Hotaru Futaba, Tizoc, Preecha, and Gato. After Terry and Mai Shiranui made their cameo in Street Fighter 6, it’s thrilling to see Ken and Chun-Li crossing into City of the Wolves. And let’s not forget other fan favorites like Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, and Mr. Big who are also ready to join the battle.
But wait, there’s more intrigue on the horizon! New leaks have hinted at additional fighters in the roster. A Reddit user, known by the alias MistressMello, shared some datamined information, revealing both launch and DLC characters. According to these findings, expect to see familiar faces like Kim Jae Hoon, Freeman, and Hokutomaru, making a splash in the new release.
The base character lineup, as officially announced, includes Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Kim Dong Hwan, Gato, Hotaru Futaba, and more. Meanwhile, the leak suggests that Kim Jae Hoon, Freeman, and Hokutomaru are still unannounced but likely to appear. Confirmed DLC will feature Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, and Mr. Big, with even more characters like Abel “Grant” Cameron, Blue Mary, and Alfred hinted for future DLC additions.
Interestingly, the leak also teases some tantalizing mysteries. It mentions Nightmare Geese and Fallen Rock potentially serving as hidden bosses, and teases six as-yet-undisclosed fighters as “skipped,” implying room for potential guest characters. Such speculation has fans buzzing, already abuzz with the thought of who these unexpected stars might be.
However, always remember that leaks, while exciting, aren’t set in stone. Details could change prior to the official release. Despite this, fans are already buzzing with anticipation, particularly at the nods to characters like Rick Strowd and Duck King. Strowd, a Native American boxer, and Duck King, another fan-loved fighter, are both deeply woven into the fabric of the Fatal Fury and King of Fighters games.
As we all gear up for its release, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves promises to bring back the thrill and beat of its legendary past while introducing exciting new features. With a combination of veteran fighters and new, dynamic characters, the game is set to rekindle the flame of this cherished series for both old fans and new players alike.
