A fresh set of leaks suggests SNK is planning a major expansion for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, with up to 12 additional characters expected through post-launch content. The names, drawn from datamines and early roadmap details, have begun circulating widely across fighting game communities.
The reported list includes returning fighters such as Blue Mary, Wolfgang Krauser and Duck King. Ryo Sakazaki, a central figure from SNK’s Art of Fighting series, also appears in the leak, indicating possible crossover continuity within SNK’s own universe.
Other names linked to the leak include Rick Strowd, Alfred Airhawk and Grant. These characters have remained absent from recent titles, making their return notable if confirmed.
Separate leaks tied to a possible Season 2 roadmap point to a staggered release plan. Kim Jae Hoon and Nightmare Geese feature in these reports, alongside two unnamed slots. The presence of “mystery characters” suggests SNK may be holding back key reveals for later announcements.
Leak trackers have shown that a DLC plan will follow a monthly pattern, something that would make it faster than most fighting game releases. This approach could help keep players interested, but it also requires steady content generation.
There have been some theories about possible guest fighters, and these have proven to be popular. The early signs point toward SNK’s intention to have more crossover fighters, an approach that is quite prevalent among most titles in the genre.
SNK has not confirmed any external additions yet. The company has, however, shown willingness to experiment with crossover content in its recent titles.

The leak, still needs verification. Leak datamines usually include details from earlier builds, where character positions and asset counts may have changed until release. The company has adjusted previous rosters in the past for various reasons, such as balancing and even scheduling. SNK is still using its usual reveal technique, presenting the game's cast via trailers and reveals rather than leak confirmations.
The size of the roster addition suggests that City of the Wolves has been planned for the long haul. The combination of veteran characters alongside new faces may boost the game's standing in the competition. Expect official information regarding the roster as more details emerge, closer to its launch and even post-launch.
