Fatal Fury’s Latest Release Is the Fighting Game 1990s Gamers Have Missed

After a 25-year hiatus, the fighting game series Fatal Fury made a comeback in 2025 with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. This new installment feels like a love letter to classic ‘90s fighting games, standing out from modern titles. While it features updated graphics, great combos, and solid fighting mechanics, it deliberately captures the feel of those older games. It sticks with the 2D movement style of past Fatal Fury games, even including a stage with the two-lane system from earlier versions. A familiar mechanic from Mark of the Wolves returns under a new name – “Selective Potential Gear” – and other features reinforce the game’s old-school roots.
