Experience the Arcade Glory Days with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves’ Dual-Lane Battle System

Hey there, gaming fans! Today, we’re diving into the much-anticipated return of the Fatal Fury series with “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves,” now available on Xbox Series X|S. After a long hiatus, the game reintroduces a beloved feature: the Two-Lane Battle system. This mechanic, last seen 27 years ago, lets players seamlessly shift between two battle lanes, adding a fresh strategic dimension to the gameplay.

Imagine the thrill of bouncing between foreground and background lanes, launching strategic attacks and combos that keep your opponents on their toes. This dual-lane system revitalizes the tactical mind-games that made Fatal Fury a standout. Not only does it enhance offensive maneuvers, but it also opens up unique defensive strategies, turning each battle into a dynamic chess match.

To get started, head to the Dream Amusement Park stage in “Morning” mode, specially designed for this combat style. Initially, it’s the sole stage with this feature, but more are in the works for future updates. To switch lanes during a match, simply press X and RB. Want to throw in a twist during your switch? Use A and RB simultaneously for an aerial attack as you change lanes.

Once on opposite lanes, you can unleash a series of special attacks. Pressing X keeps you grounded, while A or B triggers aerial assaults. There’s a tactical pullback move too—press Y to yank your opponent into your lane for a surprise attack. These maneuvers can be woven into combos, offering endless opportunities for veteran players to showcase their skills or newcomers to get creative.

Oh, and here’s a quick glimpse of a killer combo you can try with Rock: Start with X, follow with Y, then use A + RB, hit B, move to a Heavy Rising Tackle (with Brake), and finish off with a Heavy Hard Edge. Trust us, incorporating lane changes like this into your combos will elevate your game to new heights.

The Two-Lane Battle system, dating back to Fatal Fury’s origins in 1991, returns in full swing in City of the Wolves. It’s a nod to long-time fans and a refresh for those new to the series, merging nostalgia with exciting new mechanics.

We’re pumped to bring you this exhilarating addition to such an iconic series. So, fire up your consoles and prep for the action in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
