Garou: Mark of the Wolves was the first SNK game I ever played and still maintains a special place in my fighting game-loving heart. And somehow, the current SNK team ensured the upcoming sequel Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves captures that magic and then some.
During the SNK World Championship 2023, I got more than two hours of hands-on time with an early version of City of the Wolves (CotW) ahead of the first gameplay and character trailers dropping on March 17. During that demo, I was able to spend an extended amount of time with all five of the currently revealed playable fighters, testing out the various control schemes and new systems that take from Mark of the Wolves (MotW) and various other Fatal Fury or King of Fighters games.
