City of the Wolves Unveils Season Pass 1 DLC Characters

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is causing a stir with its exciting lineup of characters set to join the Season 1 Pass. Fans of the 2D fighting game genre will be thrilled by this roster, as it brings together fighters from various iconic franchises, all being rolled out gradually over the next year.

Scheduled for an April 24, 2025 release, this installment marks the first completely new Fatal Fury game in a generation—26 years to be precise. Available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, City of the Wolves is taking a bold step by featuring many cherished characters from popular SNK titles along with some surprise crossovers. Unlike its predecessor, the 1999 Garou: Mark of the Wolves, which introduced an array of new faces, this game offers a nostalgic journey for long-time fans.

A notable piece of news for fighting game enthusiasts is that characters like Chun-Li and Ken Masters from Street Fighter are joining the fray. This decision is part of a broader strategy to include crossover characters as part of the season pass. With Ken expected to join the ranks in the summer of 2025 and Chun-Li following in the winter, players have much to anticipate in the game’s evolving roster until the year’s end.

Delving into specifics, here’s a quick rundown of the Season Pass 1 characters that are on their way:

• Andy Bogard – Arriving in the summer of 2025, known for being the sibling of the series mascot, Terry.
• Ken Masters – Joining in the summer of 2025.
• Joe Higashi – Entering the roster in the fall of 2025, a mainstay from the Fatal Fury series.
• Chun-Li – Making her appearance in the winter of 2025.
• Mr. Big – Featured in early 2026, this character adds a twist as he hails from another SNK classic, Art of Fighting.

SNK is doubling down on fan favorites while also staying true to its roots. Players will see familiar names such as Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi making their debut in expected quarters, solidifying SNK’s legacy within its game world. Meanwhile, adding Mr. Big, a boss character from the company’s wider universe, broadens the appeal for both old-timers and newcomers eager to explore the rich history intertwined in these brawls.

In tandem with these additions, the game developers have unveiled Kain R. Heinlein’s return to Fatal Fury. Originally a formidable boss reserved for only the best players in Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Kain will now be stepping into the arena as a playable character—a treat for fans of the epic battles he once represented.

As Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves prepares to join the world of competitive fighting games, it promises a stylish, action-packed experience. With an invigorated art style, innovative features like the REV system, and a dual control scheme to cater to both veterans and newcomers, the game is poised to craft new legends on the streets of South Town when it launches this April.
