Today SNK revealed another character that will join the cast of its upcoming fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and it’s Billy Kane.
Billy Kane will certainly be familiar to veteran SNK fans. Not only did he appear in the original Fatal Fury games, but he also starred in most The King of Fighters titles.
The announcement came with the inevitable trailer showing off his gameplay in action. You can check it out below.
He’s voiced in English by Chris Sharpes, while his Japanese voice actor is Masaki Masaki, who took over the role since The King of Fighter XIV. Incidentally, he also played Kazuki Kazama in Samurai Shodown.
You can listen to the Japanese version featuring Masaki-san’s voice on SNK’s official YouTube channel.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is releasing in early 2025 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If you’d like to see more, you can check out the recent trailer introducing another character, Kevin Rian. It was showcased at EVO 2024 just a few days ago.
You can also take a look at artwork for two more characters, Preecha and Vox Reaper, which was revealed alongside the announcement that SNK is working on a new Art of Fighting game and a Samurai Shodown action RPG.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a brand-new fighting game and the continuation of the old and glorious Fatal Fury series, known in Japan as Garou Densetsu (Legend of the Hungry Wolf).
The series, that spanned the Neo Geo era before going dormant, is known and loved by many fans not only for its gameplay but also for its intricate storytelling and interesting characters.
