Excitement is building for Evo 2024, one of the premier fighting game tournaments in the world, set to take place from July 19 to July 21 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year, SNK is making headlines with the announcement of a special developer panel and the first public demo for their highly anticipated game, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
The SNK developer panel is scheduled for the opening day of Evo, July 19. While the exact time has yet to be confirmed, attendees can expect significant updates regarding the return of the iconic Fatal Fury franchise. Additionally, the panel will shed light on the upcoming special character DLC for The King of Fighters XV, following the recent crossover of popular characters like Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui into Street Fighter 6.
Fans are eagerly speculating whether this panel will reveal Capcom characters making their way into the KOF or Fatal Fury universe, especially with the buzz surrounding the potential final round of support for KOF XV. The anticipation is palpable as SNK prepares to unveil what’s next for these beloved franchises.
In addition to the panel, SNK will host an official booth at Evo, featuring playable demo stations where fans can get their first hands-on experience with City of the Wolves. Attendees will have the opportunity to play as characters such as Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Preecha, Marco Rodrigues, and Vox Reaper. However, B. Jenet will not be playable at this event. Each player will be allowed a 15-minute trial period to explore the game.
To enhance the demo experience, SNK has released an official guide detailing gameplay mechanics and character abilities, including the new REV System, which is designed to offer players a fresh combat experience.
Participants who take part in the demo and complete a feedback questionnaire will receive an exclusive Fatal Fury lanyard as a token of appreciation. Additionally, attendees who share their experiences on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) by posting pictures from the booth’s photo spot can win a quirky Fatal Fury beer cheering stick.
For those looking for an extra challenge, SNK is also hosting a competition where players can win special fight stick buttons featuring the Fatal Fury cast. To claim these prizes, players must defeat two challengers in succession, while supplies last.
Evo 2024 promises to be an exciting weekend filled with fierce competition, thrilling announcements, and a celebration of the fighting game community. With the potential for more character reveals and gameplay insights, fans of both Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters will not want to miss this event.
As the countdown to Evo 2024 continues, the fighting game community is buzzing with anticipation for what SNK has in store. Make sure to mark your calendars for July 19-21 and join in on the festivities in Las Vegas!
