Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Celebrates Launch with Anime-Style Music Video

Just a few days before the highly anticipated release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, set for April 24, 2025, SNK decided to bet high on nostalgia and the energy of Japanese pop culture to promote their new game. And it wasn't just any collaboration: to mark the moment, the company joined forces with renowned DJ Salvatore Ganacci and legendary animator Masami Obari - yes, the same mastermind behind the classic Fatal Fury anime series.

The newly released music video is a true celebration of the series' legacy. Animated in anime style by Obari, the video is set to a modern remix of the iconic song "Terry Andy Joe," bringing an audiovisual explosion that mixes intense fight scenes, frantic action, and the unmistakable charisma of the characters.

For longtime fans, the name Masami Obari immediately brings powerful memories. He was responsible for directing the anime Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf, and Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle in the 90s, works that helped define the emotional and aesthetic tone of the franchise outside of the arcades.

The release of this video clip reinforces SNK's strategy for City of the Wolves: to rescue the vibrant essence of the series while updating its identity for the new generation of players. Furthermore, the choice of Salvatore Ganacci for the soundtrack indicates that the publisher is heavily investing in a global marketing campaign, mixing retro appeal with modern trends in electronic music.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves promises to bring refined combat, new characters, and the return of beloved veterans like Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard. SNK has also revealed that the title will feature substantial graphical improvements and updated gameplay mechanics, aiming not only to please nostalgic fans but also to win over a new generation of fighting game enthusiasts.

With the imminent arrival of the game, and the positive impact of this promotional video, it seems clear that SNK is determined to bring Fatal Fury back to the forefront of great fighting titles. Now it remains to be seen whether, in addition to nostalgia, City of the Wolves will also bring the depth and innovation necessary to compete in the fierce modern fighting games scene.

Let April 24 come - and let the brawl come in style!
