FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves release date

The FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves release date is on April 24, 2025, which is not too long to go now! This game is 26 years in the making, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Fatal Fury franchise. There were two open betas that were available to play earlier in the year, but there won’t be another period to play the game before its official launch. Unfortunately, there isn’t an early access option either, even with a special edition; both editions will launch at the same time on April 24.

As we said earlier, even if it’s not fully released yet, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves is considered as one of the best upcoming fighting games this year, so you might want to mark your calendar for its release date.

Platforms I can play the game on

Although this is a 2D platform game, FATAL FURY: CotW will not be released to the older generation consoles. We aren’t sure why it isn’t being released on the PS4 and the Xbox One, or if there ever will be an older generation version. Usually, developers decide not to split the resources between having an older generation version and a current generation version, mainly to ensure the current gen version of the game is the best it can be. Let’s take a look at the platforms you can play FATAL FURY: CotW on.

• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X
• Xbox Series S
• Microsoft Windows

Details

Fatal Fury series has been around for a long time, CotW being the first entry into the series in 26 years. Meaning, anything that is released will be the highest level of detail and effort possible. SNK talk about bringing a new system to the game that should differ from other titles you know. It’s even one of the most anticipated esports games releasing in 2025.

The game will offer 22 characters to play from at the jump, which is a really good deal. On top of that, five new characters are expected to debut with the new season pass DLC. One other announcement is that the game will be a part of the Esports World Cup in 2025. That’s right, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves joins the EWC lineup, as a not fully-released game, which rarely happens.
