While Terry Bogard has just been added to Street Fighter 6 inasmuch as DLCit is on the side of SNK that the characters of Capcom made headlines with a collaboration of the same ilk. And it is Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves which will serve as their ring. The studio’s next fighting game was entitled to its major media unpacking during the gamescomrevealing its release date and editions, in addition to providing an update on its content in general. We saw it in action Mai Shiranuimore flamboyant than ever and which will also be invited next year in SF6. Well, among the five fighters in DLC of Season Pass 1which will be included with all copies of the game, we will find Ken And Chun-Li. For the moment, we are only entitled to a teaser without knowing what they will look like in the game. It must be said that they are not not expected before summer and winter 2025 respectively.
Faced with such an agreement between the two companies, not to mention the fact that SNK VS. CAPCOM SVC CHAOS made his return this summer and only two games Capcom vs. SNK will be included in Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Next year, fans are now hoping that a new episode bringing together their worlds will eventually see the light of day. Whether it’s a Capcom vs. SNK 3 or SNK vs. Capcom 3, it must be admitted that such a cross-over game is something to be excited about on paper.
The producer of SF6 Shuhei Matsumoto and his director Takayuki Nakayama were invited during the reveal during the live SNK of Tokyo Game Show 2024alongside the producer of CotW Yasuyuki Oda and art director Yoichiro Soeda, known primarily for character animations. They mentioned some anecdotes on the perception of each publisher’s games, among other things, with in the end a little advertising for the content already mentioned.
By the way, a segment was dedicated to The King of Fighters XV to give us news of the next two fighters expected in December, Vice And Mature. No yet gameplaybut their 3D models were shown with an overview of the process of motion capture.
Finally, and this is undoubtedly the most crazy information of the moment concerning Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, a collaboration with the world famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo aka CR7 was announced. The video indicates that“a legendary player joins a legendary game”without further details. The revelation having taken place before that of Ken And Chun-Liwe have difficulty imagining that this is a character in DLC based on it, but anything is possible. Why not have him as a commentator or appearing in the mode RPG Episodes of South Town ? It would be terribly disappointing if he took the place of a fighter among the six remaining in the roster at launch. Knowing that he now plays for the Saudi club Al-Nassr FC and that SNK belongs to the MiSK Foundation of Mohammed bin Salman since 2022, there would be nothing surprising if the prince pushed for such a decision.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves As a reminder, it is expected on April 24, 2025 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). Garou: Mark of the Wolves is for its part sold via the Fnac at the price of €9.99.
