Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Season 2 is Underway
City of the Wolves is Getting New Characters Every Month
SNK has announced a new set of fighters coming to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves (COTW) in the game’s Season Pass 2. The game’s second Season will begin on January 22, 2026 with the release of Garou: Mark of the Wolves veteran Kim-Jae Hoon.
Fatal Fury’s newest DLC lineup was announced in a trailer released on January 15, 2026. The trailer teased new gameplay features, balance changes, and a second SNK World Championship, but has been criticized by fans for its alleged use of generative AI for some live-action segments..
Unlike the last Season Pass’ seasonal release schedule, Season 2’s will follow a monthly release schedule for the DLC fighters The full list of upcoming playable DLC characters in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves are:
⚫︎ Kim-Jae Hoon - January 22, 2026
⚫︎ Nightmare Geese - February 2026
⚫︎ Blue Mary - March 2026
⚫︎ Wolfgang Krauser - April 2026
⚫︎ Mystery Character (TBA) - May 2026
⚫︎ Mystery Character (TBA) - June 2026
A Mix of Old Fatal Fury Favorites and Mystery Newcomers
This Season Pass sees some returning favorites from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, such as Terry Bogard’s girlfriend Blue Mary and former boss character Wolfgang Krauser. This game will also be Kim-Jae Hoon’s first appearance in an SNK fighting game since King of Fighters 2000.
Fatal Fury’s latest DLC lineup will also see iconic SNK antagonist Geese Howard return as Nightmare Geese, an undead version of the character. While Nightmare Geese appears in COTW as a secret boss in the game’s arcade mode, the character will most likely be toned down to be a more balanced fit for the roster.
In addition to this, SNK has teased a couple of mystery characters, with more details on them coming at a later date. It is possible, given some of the teasers that SNK have posted on their social media pages, that one of these mystery characters is from the anime Fist of the North Star, possibly being protagonist Kenshiro.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PC. For more on SNK’s striking return to South Town, read our article below!
