Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Faces Backlash Over DJ Salvatore Ganacci’s Inclusion
The upcoming *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* has raised eyebrows with its surprising addition to the roster: world-famous DJ Salvatore Ganacci. Known for his performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and his viral tracks, Ganacci’s inclusion in the fighting game has left many fans confused and frustrated. The announcement was made through a live-action trailer and gameplay showcase, but the decision has sparked backlash from the *Fatal Fury* community.
*City of the Wolves*, developed by SNK, is the first entry in the series after a 26-year hiatus. The full game is set to release on April 24, 2025, following an open beta in February.
While the game will feature familiar characters from the *Fatal Fury* and *Art of Fighting* series, Ganacci’s addition seems out of place to many, with some fans admitting they didn’t even know who he was. In contrast, the announcement that soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo would join the roster was met with much more enthusiasm.
While Ganacci’s addition has generated controversy, a recent datamine has hinted at more characters coming to *City of the Wolves*, including Kim Jae Hoon, Freeman, Hokutomaru, Blue Mary, and others. The game’s release promises to bring a mix of familiar faces and new fighters, but Ganacci’s inclusion has certainly raised questions about the direction of guest characters in modern fighting games.
