If you want another PS5 fighting game after Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, start with Street Fighter 6 or Tekken 8. Both are confirmed fighting games on PS5, but the available official information does not establish that either plays like City of the Wolves. Choose between them by checking the specific combat, solo modes, and online features you care about—not by assuming a close match.

What do you like about City of the Wolves?
The best next game depends on the part of City of the Wolves you want to carry over. SNK describes the game as built around its REV system and several returning Fatal Fury mechanics; those are publisher feature descriptions, not independent comparisons with other games.
#1 Best Overall
If you care about combat and input style
SNK lists REV Arts, REV Accel and REV Blows, with use limited by a REV Meter that can overheat. Other named systems include Combination Attacks, Just Defense, Braking, Dodge Attacks, Feints and S.P.G. The game offers Arcade Style, which uses technical inputs, and Smart Style, which uses directional inputs and single-button presses for special moves and combos. To judge whether another game suits you, look up its actual control options, defensive tools and resource systems rather than inferring them from its genre.
If you want a structured solo mode
City of the Wolves includes Episodes of South Town, which SNK describes as a solo RPG mode with fights under different conditions, XP, leveling and skills. SNK says an internet connection and a game update are required to play it. If solo progression matters in your next game, verify the other title’s modes and requirements before buying; the official PlayStation listings cited above do not provide enough detail for a mode-by-mode comparison.

If online matches are your priority
SNK describes City of the Wolves as supporting rollback netcode, cross-platform functionality, and Ranked, Casual and Room matches. These are publisher-stated capabilities, not an independent assessment of connection quality or current player population. Check each prospective game’s official feature information for matchmaking modes and platform support, and consult current information if population or online performance will determine your choice.
What to check before you buy
- Confirm the platform and edition: make sure the store listing is for PS5 and that its included content matches what you want.
- Check combat and controls: look for the specific input options, defensive mechanics and resource systems you prefer.
- Verify solo and online features: confirm which modes are included and whether any require an update, connection or additional content.
- Review current content listings: editions, DLC and store details can change, so use the live PlayStation listing rather than relying on an old description.
If you have not bought City of the Wolves yet
