After first getting announced last year, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is almost here, and now we know everyone that’s going to be included in the game.
During the Fatal Fury Evo Showcase today, SNK announced Hokutomaru as the final remaining character of the base roster following Cristiano Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci.
Hokutomaru was of course introduced in Garou: Mark of the Wolves as a young ninja training under Andy Bogard, and he appears to be a bit older now after the passage of a little time from the last entry.
He’s also ditched the wooden sword to fight with primarily only his hands and feet although he does still toss shuriken like the last game.
The young shinobi has some familiar and new tricks up his sleeve that he’s presumably learned from Andy.
We get to see the big elbow as well as more ways to use his shuriken and some explosive new attacks.
It appears Hokutomaru will be a strong rushdown / mixup character who is also not afraid to fight from a bit of a distance.
Hokutomaru joins the cast of 17 characters including Rock, Terry, B. Jenet, Marco, Preecha, Hotaru, Vox Reaper, Tizoc, Kevin, Billy, Mai, Kim Dong Hwan, Gato, Kain, Cristiano Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci.
There’s also the Season Pass available free to those who pre-order the game that features Street Fighter’s Ken and Chun-Li as well as Andy, Joe Higashi and Mr. Big.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is set to release on April 24 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
