Fatal Fury is officially back—and it’s already a hit. SNK’s upcoming fighter, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, just landed a top spot on Steam’s bestseller chart, despite not even being released yet.
This marks the long-awaited return of the Fatal Fury series, which helped define the fighting game genre in the ‘90s but hasn’t seen a mainline entry since 1999’s Garou: Mark of the Wolves. With City of the Wolves, SNK is clearly tapping into nostalgia while introducing a fresh look and modern mechanics to appeal to both veterans and new players.
What’s driving the buzz?
Aside from the built-in legacy, fans have responded positively to the game’s stylized visuals, revamped combat system, and the return of beloved characters like Terry Bogard and Rock Howard. Pre-release trailers and gameplay footage show a game that balances flash with substance—classic 2D fighting energy paired with new generation polish.
Even without a firm release date, City of the Wolves has climbed the Steam charts, sharing space with major AAA titles and showing that the fighting game community is hungry for more classic SNK energy.
This strong pre-launch performance bodes well for the game’s eventual release and for the future of legacy fighters making comebacks. With Street Fighter, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat continuing to evolve, SNK is making a bold move to reclaim its spot in the genre’s spotlight.
If the early momentum is anything to go by, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves could be one of the biggest fighting game stories of the year.
