New Update Released by City of the Wolves Game Developers

SNK has just released a new patch, version 1.1.3, for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, aiming to smooth out some bugs and hitches. Enthusiasts of the fighting game genre can now download the update and jump straight into the action of this long-anticipated installment. For over two decades, fans of the iconic Fatal Fury series, which stands alongside titans like Street Fighter in its influence on gaming, have waited for a new release. Finally hitting platforms like PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on April 24, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is delivering what fans have been eagerly anticipating.

The patch fine-tunes several elements of the game, making sure the experience lives up to its legacy. In particular, the developers have made adjustments to notable characters such as Terry Bogard, who is a fan favorite. His downloadable costume from "Fatal Fury 2," which was offered as a pre-order perk, had a few issues that are now corrected. Specifically, a problem with his Cosmic Strike Geyser not using the power gauge during certain conditions in both Arcade and Smart Style modes has been fixed. Plus, the attributes of his Burning Wave move have been aligned with those of the default costume.

Marco Rodriguez is another character who has undergone tweaks. Specifically, players will find that executing a Far Heavy Kick (Feint) from a combo is no longer possible in Arcade Style. Other changes include adjustments to Salvatore Ganacci, where the Magical Step’s cancel timing in Arcade Style is now delayed. Additionally, a glitch in the Fight Dirty move that previously allowed opponents to move after activation in both Smart and Arcade Styles has been addressed.

SNK is not resting on its laurels; they have pinpointed some issues that are yet to be resolved but are on their radar. These include an occasional surprise freeze when attempting guard canceling, discrepancies in replay accuracy, and game crashes in specific stages. Players are encouraged to keep their games updated and share any additional feedback with the developers.

Despite these hiccups, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has been warmly received. Players are voicing their opinions and SNK is listening, planning to introduce fresh features, including new adventures in Episodes of South Town, set to roll out between June and July 2025.
