Billy Kane Returns in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

SNK has confirmed that Billy Kane will make his return in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The series’ recurring character will sport a new look while still retaining the tri-sectioned staff as his weapon of choice.

Billy has been known for wearing a bandana throughout most of his appearances in the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters series up until KOF XV. SNK is making drastic changes to his looks, as he will remove the bandana and switch to sunglasses while growing a beard.

SNK also published two trailers that showcase Billy Kane’s voices in Japanese and English. Masaki Masaki has been voicing the character since The King of Fighters XIV, and he will also return to reprise the Japanese voiceover role in this game.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will also have an English voiceover option for every playable character. SNK has confirmed Chris Sharpes as the English voice actor for Billy Kane.

There are ten playable characters formally known in City of the Wolves as of Billy Kane’s reveal. Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Hotaru Futaba, Preecha, and Tizoc a.k.a. Griffon Mask were the first five characters revealed for the game. SNK has since gradually revealed Marco Rodrigues, B. Jenet, and Vox Reaper. It also unveiled Kevin Rian during EVO 2024.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, and PC in early 2025.
