Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Brings Back Character Who Was Last Playable 25 Years Ago
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is bringing back a character whose first and only playable appearance in SNK's series was nearly 25 years ago.
Now, SNK has unveiled a new trailer for City of the Wolves at Summer Game Fest, showcasing returning fighter B. Jenet and newcomer Vox Reaper. B. Jenet makes her return to Fatal Fury from Mark of the Wolves, although she could be seen more recently in The King Of Fighters 15, another SNK fighting game.

The trailer showcased some gameplay for the new fighters, including shoulder tackles, a command grab, and dark energy. B.

B. Jenet and Vox Reaper join six other previously revealed characters to round out the currently known roster to 12. So far, there have been 10 returning fighters and two new fighters revealed. Vox Reaper is joined by fellow newcomer Preecha, who was revealed earlier this year.
