SNK is working on a new Fatal Fury/Garou fighting game after 20-year hiatus

If you have played those arcade machines with various SNK games, there's a good chance you've tried a Fatal Fury game. The parent series of King Of Fighters has existed for over 30 years, with the latest entry to the franchise being Garou: Mark of The Wolves, which released 23 years ago. Now, SNK has decided to revive the franchise, confirming a new title has been greenlit. 

Back in 1991, SNK launched its first fighting game. Named Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, this title was then divided into the Fatal Fury and King Of Fighters series. While KOF has achieved incredible success in the fighting game community, Fatal Fury ended up being an underdog, ending with Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Even so, Garou became like a bastion to the series, with a modding community playing it on emulators for almost two decades, which resulted in SNK relaunching the title to various platforms.

Now, SNK has greenlit a new entry to the Fatal Fury/Garou series. Alongside the announcement, the publisher revealed an artwork of Rock Howard, the adoptive son of Teddy Bogard, the series protagonist who killed Geese Howard, Rock's biological father. Rock debuted in the Fatal Fury series in 1999, when Garou Mark of the Wolves was released for arcade platforms.

Alongside the new Fatal Fury title, SNK is also launching a new team of DLC characters for KOF XV, including Orochi Yashiro, Orochi Shermie, and Orochi Chris from KOF 97 and Haohmaru, Nakoruru, and Darli Dagger from Samurai Shodown. Moreover, SNK revealed Samurai Shodown will receive a rollback netcode update to improve the online experience.
