City of the Wolves Unveils Season Pass 1 DLC Characters

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves recently lifted the curtain on its intriguing Season 1 Pass lineup, unveiling an exciting mix of characters from various beloved fighting game series. This innovative entry into the franchise is set to launch on April 24, 2025, and promises to blend classic SNK personalities with notable crossover characters, definitely grabbing the attention of fighting game enthusiasts.

This eagerly awaited release marks the return of Fatal Fury to the scene after a lengthy 26-year hiatus since 1999’s Garou: Mark of the Wolves, which had mostly introduced fresh faces. In contrast, City of the Wolves will spotlight several familiar icons from the SNK universe, alongside some intriguing crossovers that are sure to spice up the experience.

Enthusiastic followers will already know that Street Fighter legends Chun-Li and Ken Masters are set to join the fray. The latest trailer showcasing the Season 1 additions confirms these Capcom stalwarts will be part of the new characters joining the game. Expect Ken to make his appearance in the summer of 2025, with Chun-Li following in the winter. While specific dates remain under wraps, both are expected to arrive within the year.

Anticipated Additions for Season Pass 1

• Andy Bogard – Summer 2025
• Ken Masters – Summer 2025
• Joe Higashi – Fall 2025
• Chun-Li – Winter 2025
• Mr. Big – Early 2026

Despite this influx of Street Fighter veterans, SNK maintains a strong presence with its own iconic fighters. Andy Bogard, the sibling of series frontman Terry Bogard, is set to be one of the first to enter the arena, likely even before Ken. Joe Higashi, another notable figure from the Fatal Fury roster, aims to step into the spotlight in the fall. While Mr. Big, traditionally known as a formidable adversary from the Art of Fighting series housed under the SNK umbrella, completes the cast early in 2026.

Furthermore, developers have ignited excitement with a classic surprise—Kain R. Heinlein. The formidable final boss from the previous title, known for only appearing to those with an exceptional battle record, will now be a regular feature and playable character in this upcoming game. This announcement, made on February 15, adds a nostalgic twist for returning fans.

After a 26-year absence, Fatal Fury is primed for a grand resurgence. Originally sparking the fighting game frenzy of the ’90s, the series’ upcoming installment, City of the Wolves, will rejuvenate the beloved brawler with vibrant art, a revolutionary REV system, and a host of new mechanics. It promises something invigorating for both long-time fans and newcomers, offering dual control schemes to suit every style. As the bustling streets of South Town set the stage for epic confrontations, a new chapter of the Fatal Fury saga is ready to ignite.
