SNK has confirmed that Laocorn Gaudeamus will join Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as a playable DLC character on November 19, 2026. The announcement, made on November 12, also introduces dedicated story content for Episodes of South Town and Arcade Mode, alongside a new character trailer showcasing Laocorn’s appearance and combat abilities.
Laocorn is the sixth character arriving during the game’s third season, marking his playable debut in the Fatal Fury fighting game series. He originally appeared as the main antagonist in the 1994 animated film Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, making his inclusion a crossover between the franchise’s animated history and its modern fighting game roster.
The newly released character trailer provides a first look at Laocorn’s fighting style in City of the Wolves, demonstrating how SNK has adapted the film antagonist for the game’s combat system. His arrival follows the previously announced Season 3 schedule, which identified November as his release window without specifying an exact date.
Laocorn’s story in City of the Wolves continues his pursuit of the legendary Armor of Mars, a collection of powerful artifacts believed to contain the strength of a war god. A descendant of the ancient warrior Gaudeamus and the twin brother of Sulia Gaudeamus, Laocorn commands three loyal followers known as the Triumvirate.
In the new storyline, Laocorn learns that the final piece of the Armor of Mars is located in South Town and will be awarded to the winner of the King of Fighters tournament. Seeking to complete the armor and obtain power beyond human limits, he enters the competition himself.
SNK has confirmed that both Episodes of South Town, the game’s single-player RPG-style mode, and Arcade Mode will receive dedicated Laocorn story content. These additions expand his role beyond competitive matches, allowing players to explore his motivations and involvement in South Town’s ongoing conflicts.
Laocorn is voiced by Branden Loera in English and Shinichiro Miki in Japanese. His appearance retains his connection to Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, which was directed by Masami Obari and originally released in Japan on July 16, 1994.
Laocorn Joins the Season 3 DLC Roster
Season 3 of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves began in July 2026 under the theme Destined for Revenge, introducing monthly character additions and other content updates.
The season opened with Rick Strowd in July, followed by Duck King in August and Kim Kaphwan in September. October introduced two crossover fighters from Tokyo Revengers, Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji.
Laocorn’s November 19 release brings the season’s playable additions to six characters. SNK has also confirmed that Reina from Tekken will conclude the seven-character Season 3 lineup in December.
The Season 3 Pass is priced at $19.99 / €19.99 and includes all seven fighters. SNK has not specified a separate individual purchase price for Laocorn in its November 12 announcement.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
SNK also announced a 75% discount on the game’s digital Standard Edition in Japan, reducing its price from ¥2,980 to ¥745. The promotion applies to PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games Store versions, with availability and end dates dependent on individual storefronts.
