Hokutomaru Completes Fatal Fury CotW Launch Roster

SNK has revealed Hokutomaru as a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The disciple who trained under Andy Bogard and Mai Shiranui will not only make his return from Garou: Mark of the Wolves; he will also complete the launch roster for the upcoming fighting game.

SNK has also uploaded the Hokutomaru trailer in two language versions. The first one confirms Junya Enoki as the character’s new Japanese voice actor. The voice actor change from Junko Takeuchi will show how Hokutomaru has grown up over two in-universe years since his debut in Garou: Mark of the Wolves, where he was 14 years old.

The other trailer showcases the English voiceover mode, where the same character is voiced by Caleb Yen:

Previously, during the Tokyo Game Show 2024, SNK announced that City of the Wolves would have 17 playable characters at launch. With the newest addition of Hokutomaru, the character list on the new Fatal Fury game’s official website has also reached that number. The launch roster will also include two guest characters based on real-world celebrities: the soccer/football player Cristiano Ronaldo and the DJ Salvatore Ganacci.

The game’s overall roster will eventually increase from 17 to 22. SNK will gradually add Andy Bogard, Ken Masters, Joe Higashi, Chun-Li, and Mr. Big as post-launch DLC characters. Players can also purchase the first Season Pass to guarantee access to the extra characters as soon as they are available.
