A new Fatal Fury / Garou fighting game is coming from SNK

During the EVO 2022 celebrations over the weekend Publisher SNK released a short video announcing a brand new release fatal rage Game that felt like both a big surprise and a kind of inevitability considering the time that had passed since the last one.

Here’s the clip that manages to show a single piece of it for over 30 seconds Art:

Here’s a larger, less animated version of the piece:

So a new one fatal rage/Garou game, which means that this is either a successor or directly Continued (hard to tell apart from a single work of art!) until 1999 Garou: Sign of the Wolveswhich was a major departure for the series at the time, as it introduced a whole new cast of characters and redesigned Terry Bogard, the only one in existence to return.

Unbelievable, Garou was the last main thing fatal rage Game released which means it’s over 20 years since we last saw Terry and companies in the spotlight of her own series (fatal rage have charactersnaturally appears in countless other games Super Smash Bros. to the dating game King of fighters for girls).

What a game might look like is anyone’s guessas this announcement – based on a single image and with no other accompanying information – is about as brief as you’d expect from a major publisher and suggests that this game is Years off the release.

One piece of news found on the image itself, and helpfully enlarged during the trailer, was the signature of Aki Senno, aka Tonko, who has worked on and off for SNK for 25 years years as an artist on the Last blade, king of fighters, Samurai Shotdown and Metal bullet Series.

However, she is perhaps best known for her work on the original Garou—released in arcades in 1999, but again in 2000 on Neo Geo and 2001 on the Dreamcast—So bringing them back on board for this game is a nice treat for longtime fans of SNK fighting games.
