At Evo Las Vegas 2025, there’s a significant qualifier tournament for SNK World Championship 2025 taking place. The anticipation and upcoming debut of Ken from Street Fighter are fueling optimism surrounding FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (CotW).
However great a game this new release is, FATAL FURY CotW has been experiencing two strong issues.
Following the initial excitement, many within the Fighting Games Community (FGC) went back to their primary games, leaving the player count not particularly noticeable. However, this situation can be improved by generating high-level esports excitement for the game. If a game performs exceptionally well in major tournaments, players often become keen to try it out themselves.
City of the Wolves isn’t perfectly even right now. It’s not overly unbalanced either, but the high number of Billys and Kains at tournaments is a bit concerning. The addition of Ken Maister from Street Fighter to the roster gives us reason to hope for more variety in the competitive matches.
SNK consistently maintains FATAL FURY CotW as a leading title in the competitive fighting game esports scene. They’ve arranged the World Championship with an impressive $1.5 million prize pool and the game will remain a part of the Esports World Cup through at least 2027. To add to the excitement, even Ronaldo lends his support! FATAL FURY Evo 2025 plays a crucial role in this well-planned series of events.
Where to watch FATAL FURY CotW at Evo Las Vegas 2025: Stream
On the final day of Evo 2025, we’re moving on to the second competition. You can watch it right here, as the stream is provided below. After the Guilty Gear Strive matches, we’ll dive into the FATAL FURY battles.

The pairing of these two iconic combat games is simply astonishing! Terry and Mai have made it onto the Street Fighter 6 lineup, marking their debut as guest characters within the main series. In a reverse move, Ken and Chun-Li will join the ranks of FATAL FURY as part of Season 1 DLC. It’s confirmed that Ken will appear in the City of the Wolves starting from August 2025.
