It’s a great week for fighting game fans, and especially fans of SNK, as Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves finally kicks off its first open beta. It’s the first chance many players have had to throw down in SNK’s new mainline fighting game, and we’re going to be jumping into the action as well with a special ShackStream to celebrate.

The City of the Wolves multiplayer open beta was announced in January 2025. It started at midnight PT on February 20, and runs to 11:59 p.m. PT on February 24. It’s also free and available to download on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, no purchase necessary whatsoever.

Want to see what it’s like for yourself? Then join us as we jump into the Fatal Fury: COTW open beta on the Shacknews Twitch channel at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET
