FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves Season 3 Launch

On July 23rd, SNK proudly announced the beginning of Season 3 for their acclaimed fighting game, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (or GAROU: City of the Wolves). Titled DESTINED FOR REVENGE, this update brings an exciting new character as part of the downloadable content (DLC) for the game. Enter legendary champion Rick Strowd, a name that resonates with fans of the franchise.

Who Is Rick Strowd?

Rick Strowd, commonly known as the “White Wolf,” is a distinguished champion returning to Southtown, motivated by his destiny for vengeance. He made his inaugural appearance in 1998 with REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2, standing out as one of the few characters in the series who employs a boxing style. In Season 3, Rick showcases an advanced technique set, merging traditional boxing dynamics with a tactical arsenal that includes less predictable moves from various stances. This evolution makes him a technical boxer capable of heavy strikes and intricate strategies, perfect for seasoned players.

Voice Talent

Rick Strowd’s voice is brought to life by Takashi Azuma in Japanese and Alejandro Saab in English,
allowing fans to enjoy the character in their preferred language.

Storyline Integration

In addition to the combat gameplay, Rick’s backstory is interwoven with multiple game modes aimed at enhancing the player's experience:

• - RPG Mode (EOST MODE): After achieving success as a boxer, Rick finds himself pulled towards Southtown by an inexplicable force when he steps out on a day off. As he walks this mysterious path, he is drawn to the implications of destiny that lie ahead.

• - Arcade Mode: In a dramatic turn, Rick’s reality shatters when his wife, Catherine, falls terminally ill. Struggling to find answers with skilled doctors, Rick sets his sights on the upcoming KOF tournament. He feels deeply that the competition might hold the key to saving his wife, igniting a fierce determination within him to enter the fray.

Monthly Character Releases

As part of the Season Pass 3, fans can look forward to additional characters being launched monthly, including Duck King and Kim Kaphwan, alongside fresh stages and content that will keep players engaged and returning for more battles in the world of Southtown. The Revenge Edition of the game includes all Season Passes from 1 to 3, solidifying its status as a comprehensive fighting package.

The Legacy of FATAL FURY

With its roots tracing back to 1991, the FATAL FURY series has profoundly influenced the fighting game genre. The brand remains relevant even after 26 years since its last mainstream title, FATAL FURY -MARK OF THE WOLVES-—offering players a memorable blend of nostalgia and modern gaming advancements.

The REV System adds further excitement, enhancing combat dynamics while two selectable control styles cater to both beginners and veteran players, ensuring a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone.
