Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will launch with a 17-character roster that includes a mix of old and new fighters, with five more joining over the months after launch via the Season Pass 1 DLC included with all versions of the game.
Along with standard gameplay modes like online and offline versus mode and arcade mode, the game will also include an RPG mode where players explore South Town, earn XP in battles, and customize their character. There will be control schemes to use; “Arcade Style” uses the classic inputs of previous Fatal Fury games, while “Smart Style” simplifies the controls with direction-based inputs similar to Street Fighter 6’s new Modern control mode.
