==Major Projects==
===Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Post-Launch Content===
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, known in Japan as Garou Densetsu: CITY OF THE WOLVES (餓狼伝説 シティ オブ ザ ウルブズ, Garō Densetsu Shiti obu za Urubuzu), launched earlier in 2025, will have various post-launch content shown in the stream first thing.
====DLC Characters====
Ryo Sakazaki
/ Mr. Karate II	Li Xiangfei	Rick Strowd
Geese Howard
/ Nightmare Geese	Alex
(guest from Street Fighter III)	King of Dinosaurs
====Additional Content====
=====Free Story Expansion: "Dawn of the Wolf"=====
As a bonus for fans, a free update will come to the game later in the month, providing a full, replayable story experience, complete with in-engine cutscenes and additional character interactions. In addition, the game's prior Story mode will be renamed to "Arcade" to avoid confusion.
=====Alternate Costumes=====
Every character in the roster will come with alternate costumes to spice up the style a bit. For example, returning veteran characters will have their classic appearances selectable. More details will come at a later date.
=====Steam Workshop=====
As a bonus for PC, players who own City of the Wolves on Steam will be able to contribute custom content for the game via the dedicated Steam Workshop page, including characters, stages and in-game UI options. More details will come at a later date.
===Capcom Vs. SNK 3: Battle of The Ages===
That's right, the iconic Capcom Vs. SNK series is finally getting its long-awaited third installment, Capcom vs. SNK 3: Battle of the Ages (カプコン バーサス エス・エヌ・ケイ3バトル オブ エイジズ, Kapukon Bāsasu Esu Enu Kei Surī Batoru obu za Eijizu), releasing in early 2025 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (via Steam), complete with brand new reimagined HD 2D graphics and a brand new online experience that includes crossplay and rollback netcode.
In terms of the in-game artwork, the keyart for the characters with the Capcom grooves will be done by Shinkiro, while the keyart for characters with the SNK grooves will be provided by Eisuke Ogura.
====Game Mechanics====
=====Ratio System=====
When creating your team, you have to allocate Ratio Points among your characters that will have a total of four points. Your team can consist of one to three members. Possible combinations are one Ratio 4 character; two Ratio 2 characters; one Ratio 1 and one Ratio 3 characters. A member with higher ratio points allocated has increased offensive and defensive capabilities, thus a greater chance of survival. A player of two characters can beat a player of three characters, and even three characters can beat a single character team. It's all in skill and strategy! So create your own team wisely!
=====Groove Points System=====
There is a large counter at the top center of the screen known as the Groove Point Counter. As you trade blows with the enemy characters, your Groove Points go up or down depending on how you fight. The total points steadily drop by 0.5 Point after 10 seconds of each match has elapsed. Performing special maneuvers and finishing your opponents with special moves or Super Combos is also a great way to boost your score. One of three ratings flash whenever you land a blow or get hit by the opponent, which are further discussed below.
SP : (Super) Attack or maneuver earns 1.0 point and higher. GD : (Good) Attack or maneuver earns less than 1.0 point. PR : (Poor) Groove points decrease by 1.0 point. At the end of each match, the number of ratings are given certain score multipliers and bonus points which are further added to the player's real score. Hefty bonus points are awarded for unscathed victories (Perfect), beating the opposing team with one character (Straight), and beating the entire team without taking any damage (Perfect Straight).
=====Grooves=====
Of course, we can't forget the inclusion of the Capcom Vs. SNK series' iconic grooves system. The grooves will give you various different advantages depending on which specific groove you select. Additionally, for the first time in the CVS series, you can now choose a separate groove for each individual member of your team.
