Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a 2025 fighting game developed by KOF Studio and published by SNK. It is the seventh main installment in the Fatal Fury series and the first new entry in 26 years, following Garou: Mark of the Wolves (1999). The game was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on April 24, 2025. Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from critics.
Gameplay in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is similar to that of its predecessor, with combat taking place on a two-dimensional movement plane, though one stage does allow the use of the two-lane system from earlier Fatal Fury games. Several mechanics from Mark of the Wolves are retained in City of the Wolves, including the T.O.P. system, renamed the "Selective Potential Gear" (S.P.G.) system; and the "Just Defense" mechanic, which features an expanded "Hyper Defense" variation designed to protect against attacks that hit multiple times. In addition to basic normal moves and special moves, players can also gain access to "Gear" super attacks by filling two meters at the bottom of their screen. Spending one meter will perform an Ignition Gear attack, while both meters can be spent to perform a more powerful Redline Gear attack. The most powerful super move, the Hidden Gear, requires both bars to be spent while the S.P.G. is active.
A new mechanic introduced in the game is the "Rev System". Players can perform multiple types of Rev abilities, including "Rev Arts", enhanced versions of a character's special moves; "Rev Blow", an attack that can help put distance between the two characters; "Rev Accel", which assists in chaining attacks together to create combos; and "Rev Guard", a defensive block which pushes opponents away as their attack connects. Using these techniques gradually causes the character's Rev Gauge to fill; when full, the character will enter an Overheat state and be unable to use any Rev abilities until it fully depletes. The affected player can drain their gauge more quickly by actively approaching and attacking their opponent.The game offers two control schemes for players to choose from: "Arcade Style", which features traditional controls akin to previous entries in the series, and "Smart Style", a simplified control scheme that allows players to perform attacks and combos using only basic directional inputs and single button presses, though certain abilities are inaccessible in Smart Style.
In addition to the standard arcade mode, the game features a single player mode called "Episodes of South Town". This mode features RPG mechanics and has players selecting challenge missions scattered around a South Town map to earn experience points and additional skills for their chosen character. Progressing in this mode will unlock new outfits, colors, and patterns with which to customize the characters in the "Color Edit" mode. Music from other Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting games can also be played during battles or using an in-game jukebox. The game supports online multiplayer, including rollback netcode and cross-platform play.
