SNK is keeping the Fatal Fury hype rolling with new details on City of the Wolves, including the full Season Pass 1 lineup, an open beta test, and the return of Kain R. Heinlein, the boss of GAROU: Mark of the Wolves.
The game officially launches on April 24, 2025, for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, with physical pre-orders available now at Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Season Pass 1 Brings Five DLC Fighters
SNK isn’t holding back when it comes to post-launch fighters, pulling in familiar faces from Fatal Fury, Street Fighter, and Art of Fighting. Here’s the full DLC roadmap:
- Andy Bogard – Summer 2025
- Ken – Summer 2025
- Joe Higashi – Fall 2025
- Chun-Li – Winter 2025
- Mr. Big – Early 2026
All five characters will be included in the Special Edition ($59.99), and pre-orders come with Terry Bogard’s classic Fatal Fury 2 costume.
Kain R. Heinlein Joins the Fight
Kain R. Heinlein returns to reclaim South Town, now fully voiced by Brett Calo (EN) and Yuichi Nakamura (JA). This time, he’s not just looking for power—he’s on a mission to rescue his sister Marie, forcing him into a fragile alliance with Rock Howard.
Armed with his signature explosive rushdown gameplay, Kain is sure to be a menace in the hands of aggressive players.
