SNK has confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, with a digital launch scheduled for October 22, 2026 and a physical edition slated for release in January.
The announcement reiterates SNK's ongoing commitment to bringing its flagship fighting series to modern platforms and highlights several new gameplay systems, a single-player RPG mode, and guest characters included in the Starter Edition.
Release and editions
The digital version of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, 2026, followed by a physical release in January.
The Starter Edition bundles include guest characters Mikey and Draken from the Tokyo Revengers anime, alongside all previously released downloadable content fighters.
New gameplay systems: the REV System
SNK has introduced a new REV System intended to change tempo and offensive options from the opening exchange.
The publisher describes the REV System as a mechanic that grants access to REV Arts and REV Accel, and enables REV Blows while S.P.G. is active, all governed by a REV Meter that can overheat when pushed too far.
In plain terms, the REV System is designed to let players pursue aggressive, resource-driven play until their REV Meter reaches its limit.
Control options for newcomers and veterans
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves offers two distinct control schemes to accommodate a broad player base.
Arcade Style emphasizes precise, technical inputs for traditional fighting game execution, while Smart Style simplifies special moves and combo inputs using directional controls and single-button presses.
SNK positions these options to make the game accessible to newcomers without removing depth for seasoned competitors.
Episodes of South Town: single-player RPG mode
The game also includes Episodes of South Town (EOST), a single-player RPG-style mode where players face varied fight conditions to earn experience points and rewards.
Fighters can level up, acquire skills, and expand their move kits as they progress through South Town's narrative challenges.
Franchise context
Fatal Fury first launched in 1991 and helped shape the fighting game landscape through the 1990s.
GAROU: MARK OF THE WOLVES, released in 1999, has long stood as the most recent mainline entry until this new release.
SNK’s announcement positions Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as a significant next step for the franchise on Nintendo's next-generation handheld-console hybrid.
More information about the Switch 2 port and a dedicated trailer have been published alongside SNK's announcement.
Players looking for the digital release should check the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop when the title goes live on October 22, 2026.
