Recently, at Evo 2023, SNK showed off a very short teaser for the next Fatal Fury game, confirming that three series mainstays and fan favourites will be featured in the game as playable characters- namely, these are series protagonist Terry Bogard, his younger brother Andy Bogard, and martial artist Joe Higashi. All three have, of course, been staples of the Fatal Frame series over the years, so their inclusion in the next game doesn’t exactly come as a surprise- but it’s nice to get confirmation nonetheless.

SNK didn’t showcase any gameplay for the game, but did show off concept art featuring the three aforementioned characters, while also reiterating the game is currently in development. Check out the clip below.

First released in 1999 for arcades, Garou: Mark of the Wolves would eventually arrive on Neo Geo, Sega Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox 360, PS4, PlayStation Vita, PC and mobiles. It introduced new mechanics like the Tactical Offense Position (T.O.P.) gauge for increased attack, life recovery and T.O.P. attacks when one’s health entered this portion. There was also the Just Defense system, which provided health recovery and quick counterattacks when blocking at the right moment.

Interestingly, the sequel was first mentioned back in 2005 and was said to be around 70 percent finished. SNK provided updates throughout the years but nothing definite has been confirmed until now. Could it have been the developer’s unnamed title on Unreal Engine mentioned back in February? Stay tuned for more details in the coming years.
