SNK World Championship at Evo Japan 2025: Battles of furious kings
This is an extraordinary gathering for all enthusiasts of fighting games, particularly the Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves community. It kicks off its inaugural major tournament – where true combat truly begins!
Or more casually:
This event’s a big deal for fighting game fans, especially those into Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. They’re launching their first big competition – it’s where the real fight starts!
The structure of this esports competition is quite unique. The SNK World Championship 2025 kicked off last year at Evo Japan, and each tournament acts as a qualifier. This means that victors secure direct invitations to the Final event. Additionally, new games are added to the Championship throughout the season.
It’s clear that SNK Corporation doesn’t want to limit its attention solely to The King of Fighters XV (KOF XV). Apart from KOF XV, they have another fantastic game under their belt – Samurai Shodown. Both games are worthy of attention. The extended duration of the SNK World Championship 2025 is primarily due to the upcoming release of FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (FATAL FURY CotW).
Essentially, Evo Japan 2025 signifies a fresh start for SNK’s esports scene. With King of Fighters XV (KOF XV) having only a handful of qualifiers remaining, each one carries significant weight. Not just any qualifier, this is the initial tournament for FATAL FURY CotW and it also happens to be the largest event thus far for the game.
Everything about the SNK World Championship 2025 at Evo Japan is here.
