by

Today, the iconic Fatal Fury fighting game series makes its comeback, introducing “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves”. Early buyers have been enjoying it for a few days now, but it’s officially available to everyone today. In honor of its return, developer SNK is pulling out all the stops. This is the first new installment in the Fatal Fury series in twenty-six years, with the last game released back in 1999. Our review described “Fatal Fury: City of Wolves” as being “more than just another fighting game”. In a historic move, this latest addition to SNK’s library will be part of the SNK World Championships 2025, boasting a massive $2,500,000 prize pool dedicated solely to this game.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves celebrates launch with huge tournament prize pool

If you haven’t heard about the SNK World Championships yet, let me tell you that it’s an annual competition where players from all over the world battle it out in various SNK fighting games. Qualifying events are being held globally, and tournaments for games like Samurai Shodown and The King of Fighters XV have already taken place. The finals will happen later this year in the U.S., marking the first time that “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” is included as a main event. With a total prize pool of $2,500,000, and the winner taking home a whopping $1,500,000 in this single tournament, you might wonder if it’s too late to start practicing for this event – even if you don’t consider yourself a pro at fighting games.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves recently posted an update on their social media account. They mentioned that they will be releasing details about prizing, qualifier schedules, and other relevant information soon. They urged fans not to miss out on this opportunity. I concur; even if you’re not confident in your fighting game skills, it’s worth attempting to qualify if you can easily make it. You might discover that you’re more talented than you believe.

It’s fantastic to see a well-loved fighting game series come back with a bang! In this latest installment, they’ve thrown in some surprises by adding Cristiano Ronaldo and DJ Salvatore Ganacci as playable characters – something I wouldn’t have anticipated even if you asked me at the end of the year.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the inaugural season of “City of the Wolves” will see the arrival of fan favorites Ken and Chun-Li from “Street Fighter,” alongside other characters throughout the rest of this year. It seems like 2022 is shaping up to be an exceptional year for “Fatal Fury,” a long-awaited comeback that truly deserves all the accolades. Here’s wishing the best of luck to everyone who aspires to compete in the tournament!
