Thu Feb 20 08:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Fatal Fury Open Beta Unleashes City of the Wolves This Weekend

**[City, State] –** SNK has announced the highly anticipated open beta for *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*, launching tonight at midnight PST (9 AM CET, 5 PM JST) and running until February 24th, 11:59 PM PST. The beta will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, requiring no registration. Players can expect a download size of approximately 16 GB.

Eight playable characters will be featured: Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Rock Howard, Hotaru Futaba, Preecha, B. Jenet, Vox Reaper, and newcomer Kain R. Heinlein. The beta will include online play with cross-platform support, offering Ranked, Casual, and Room Match modes, alongside a tutorial. A training mode will be absent. Progress will not carry over to the full release.

The game features two control schemes: a classic Arcade Style and a new Smart Style, similar to Street Fighter 6’s Modern controls. Core gameplay revolves around the REV System, a mechanic akin to Street Fighter 6’s Drive System but functioning in reverse. The system utilizes a REV Meter, offering various defensive options such as Just Defense, Hyper Defense, Guard Cancels, and REV Guards.

While not all features will be present in the beta, SNK aims to give players a substantial taste of *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* before its full release. An official gameplay guide is available on the SNK website.
