Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Might Be Featuring the Most Unexpected Guest Character in Fighting Game History
Fighting game players are familiar with surprise crossover events, but Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves could be escaping the bounds of fiction itself.
Shared by Redditor MistressMello, a Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves datamine reveals the launch and DLC characters. The list they shared shows fighters fans already know are coming, such as Terry, Rock, Hotaru Futaba, Gato, and other fan favorites like Mai Shiranui and Tizoc. The names not yet announced are Kim Jae Hoon, Freeman, and Hokutomaru, Andy Bogard's young disciple. It's worth noting that there are three spots left in the launch roster, and that these three characters appear in Mark of The Wolves as well as Marco Rodrigues, who is also confirmed in City of the Wolves.

WHERE TO PLAY
After 26 years, FATAL FURY is back! SNK’s beloved Fatal Fury series first hit the market in 1991, spearheading the fighting game boom of the 1990s that swept the industry thereafter.
GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES (released in 1999) has, for some time, served as the franchise’s most recent installment. But that is all about to change: 26 years on, a brand-new entry—FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves—is set to arrive on the scene!
FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves features a unique art style that stimulates the senses, an innovative REV system that supercharges the excitement, plus a host of other battle systems even more robust than before. The game also breathes new life into the series by introducing two distinct control schemes (ensuring fun and excitement for newcomers and veterans alike) as well as other fresh features and elements.
The streets of South Town are a hotbed of action, wild dreams, and even wilder ambition. Here, at long last, a new legend is about to unfold...
