While representative works of Daejeon fighting franchises such as Street Fighter and Tekken released new works one after another, SNK’s new work, ‘The Legend of Fury City of the Wolves’, was released along with a new video and the official title name.
SNK unveiled its new Fury Legend City of the Wolves right after the finals of The King of Fighters 15 (KOF15) held at EVO2023, a fighting game competition held in Las Vegas, USA on the morning of the 7th (Korean time). SNK, which announced the development of the game for the first time last year, released a video containing illustrations of series characters such as Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Joe Higashi in April this year.
The newly released video showed Terry Bogard and Rock Howard’s in-game modeling and actual fighting action together. The game is produced with 3D graphics, and it is expected to draw 3D character battles along with the original side-view battle style.
Meanwhile, the official title of the game was also confirmed as Fury Legend City of the Wolves through a video on the same day.

Here, a different atmosphere was drawn from the existing Fury Legend series. At the time, it received good reviews and the development of a sequel continued, but the project that was eventually suspended was able to continue through this work. Meanwhile, it is known that TONKO, who was in charge of various SNK game illustrations, participated in the illustration of this work.
Meanwhile, additional DLC information for KOF15 was also released on the same day.
