Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves shared more information in a post on social media. They say: “More information about prizing, qualifier schedules, and so on will be released soon. Don’t miss this opportunity!” I agree, even if you don’t think you’re great at fighting games, if you can easily attend one of these qualifiers, it’s worth at least giving it a shot. Maybe you are better than you think.
What a way to celebrate the return of a beloved fighting game franchise. This entry in the series is not pulling any punches, as they’ve also recently introduced Cristiano Ronaldo and DJ Salvatore Ganacci as playable characters. I don’t think I could have guessed that if you gave me all year.
City of the Wolves’ initial season will also bring Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter to this new title, along with several other characters throughout the rest of this year. It’s going to be a banner year for Fatal Fury and well deserved after such a long hiatus. Best of luck to anyone who tries to qualify for the tournament!
