All of the new details for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves were shared during the EVO Awards 2025 showcase this year. There, SNK revealed Kain for CotW’s base roster with a new character trailer. For those who don’t know, Kain was the boss of the previous mainline Fatal Fury game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves. He comes back featuring most of his moveset and a few extra tricks, including his fade-away projectile, an elbow attack like Rock’s, and a deployable energy mine that looks like it can be activated to burst by command.

We also learned that Kain will be playable in the upcoming multiplayer beta for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Here are the other characters that can be played:
