SNK plans monthly character additions for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

SNK director Shunto Chikaya says the company plans to add a new character to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves every month for as long as possible. While SNK has not provided a fixed schedule, Chikaya named several characters under consideration, including the Jin brothers, Tsugumi Sendo, Li Xiangfei, Ryuji Yamazaki, and Gaoh. These names are possibilities rather than confirmed DLC. Reports say Li Xiangfei appeared in a September datamine via unused dialogue, but the other characters have not appeared in game files.

SNK says characters appearing frequently in The King of Fighters may receive lower priority and that the team generally avoids weapon users. The company also schedules balance updates around major tournaments like EVO. Maintaining a monthly release cadence reportedly puts pressure on animation, localization, and recording teams. Reports say some animated shorts are completed only one day before they are announced.
