It will get so much crazier on April 24 when FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves finally enters the arena with hot freebies from SNK in celebration. Listen, Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui fans—coming right out of the gate, you get some fresh drip.
They just said that players can start at 8 am PT, April 23, for a chance to get an exclusive Terry Outfit 1 EX2 Color and Mai Outfit 1 EX2 Color. These aren’t simply random 2nd colors—these are the pure ones that would distinguish you from the rest and say, “I was here day one.” And, honestly? Free cosmetics in a fighting game? That’s a very rare W these days.
There has been no word on what more could be added to the in-game News feed, but from the little that is known about SNK’s history, expect something with a bit of hype in it. A little avatar bling? Maybe some extra cash? Who knows? Either way, if you have any talcum of interest in fighting games, this is one you’ll definitely not want to sleep on.
City of the Wolves heralds the much-awaited return to the Fatal Fury series, and from the trailers, it screams vintage SNK but polished for the 21st century. Terry’s in the hat, Mai is… well, Mai, and the fighting is quicker than a cheetah on an energy drink.
Now, the real question is, for what reason do they give the skins early? Maybe they planned to make the hype curve earlier before the hammering starts via servers on launch day. Very savvy, SNK.
And man, the replies section is eerily vacant, which is just kind of shocking. You’d think the fighting game fans would be losing their sht over the free color palette for Mai, but maybe everyone’s too busy labbing combos in the demo. Or saving it for when the servers go live. Either way, this silence is pretty suspect.
So remember that date in your calendar, set the alarm, and prepare to train through Metro City on April 24th as Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves launches. Don’t forget to grab those limited skins; that’s half the battle—looking good. The other half? Staying off the list online, perfect. Good luck with that.
