Duck King grooves on a neon-lit stage; Kim Kaphwan moves through what looks like a training montage; Rick Strowd and Laocorn Gaudeamus each get a moody, dramatic close-up that hints at their darker edge.<\/p>\n<p>SNK has confirmed Season 3 is beginning this month but has not yet announced individual character release dates or Season 3 pass pricing. Season 1 featured five fighters and Season 2 featured six \u2014 including <a href=\"\/blog\/kenshiro-fatal-fury-city-of-the-wolves\/\">Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star, who arrived as Season 2&#8217;s final fighter<\/a> \u2014 suggesting Season 3 could run to a similar scale, with one or two names still to be revealed.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fatal-fury-cotw-saga-continues-trailer.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fatal Fury City of the Wolves The Saga Continues animated trailer\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of SNK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Duck King and Kim Kaphwan: Series Originals Long Overdue<\/h2>\n<p>Duck King is one of the most recognisable faces in Fatal Fury history. He first appeared in the original <em>Fatal Fury: King of Fighters<\/em> (1991) as a break-dancing hip-hop fighter with a distinctive mohawk and peace-sign pendant \u2014 the kind of expressive, unhinged character that made 90s SNK rosters so memorable. His absence from City of the Wolves at launch was one of the more discussed omissions among franchise veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Kaphwan needs even less introduction. The Taekwondo master debuted in <em>Fatal Fury 2<\/em> (1992) and has appeared in nearly every SNK fighter since. Singapore players who grew up at the arcades in the 90s almost certainly have a Kim story. He is also the father of Kim Dong Hwan and Kim Jae Hoon \u2014 two characters <em>already<\/em> playable in City of the Wolves \u2014 which makes his arrival feel like a missing piece finally clicking into place.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fatal-fury-cotw-gameplay-screenshot.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves gameplay screenshot\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of SNK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Rick Strowd and Laocorn Gaudeamus Round Out the Four<\/h2>\n<p>Rick Strowd appeared in <em>Real Bout Fatal Fury<\/em> (1995) as a thunder-wielding fighter drawing on Native American tradition \u2014 a character beloved by a devoted corner of the fanbase who has long wanted him back. Laocorn Gaudeamus is the more surprising inclusion: the armoured antagonist from <em>Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture<\/em> and <em>Fatal Fury 3<\/em>, his addition suggests SNK is leaning into the deeper lore of the franchise rather than limiting Season 3 to crowd-pleasing nostalgia picks alone.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fatal-fury-cotw-rock-howard-character.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves character art\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of SNK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to Play City of the Wolves in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p><em>Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves<\/em> is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2492040\/FATAL_FURY_City_of_the_Wolves\/\">Steam<\/a> and the Epic Games Store \u2014 all accessible from Singapore.
