When is Fatal Fury: CotW supposed to be released? In addition to the trailer showcasing the first gameplay and introducing five characters, the announcement trailer was released almost simultaneously on the official YouTube channel SNK (via YouTube).
This also revealed the planned release window. Therefore, we can currently assume that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is set to be released in early 2025. However, the platforms on which you can play it are still unknown.
What does the gameplay trailer show? The gameplay trailer introduces five characters and showcases their gameplay. Not only do they present the characters and their play styles, but also their English voice actors. At the same time, the trailer was uploaded with Japanese voice actors as well.
Trailer introduces the first five characters
- Rock Howard (voiced by Griffin Puatu in English, Yuma Uchida in Japanese)
- Terry Bogard (voiced by Micheal Schneider in English, Takashi Kondo in Japanese)
- Hotaru Futaba (voiced by Suzie Yeung in English, Manaka Iwami in Japanese)
- Tizoc (voiced by Jalen K. Cassell, Hikaru Hanada in Japanese)
- Preecha (voiced by Mia Paige in English, Chika Anzai in Japanese)
The trailer showcases the different fighting styles of the characters. Here you see them engage in action-packed battles against each other. The trailer also highlights some of the larger attacks, which are initiated with short sequences.
For instance, Tizoc uses his size to attack his opponents and slam them into the ground in a good wrestler fashion. Rock Howard rocks his opponents with massive punches, and Preecha skillfully uses her fist and footwork.
The battles are accompanied by fitting comic-style effects. Both acoustically and visually, the action of the game is emphasized, as you probably expect from most good fighting games in this style.
