March 19, 2025 – For the first time in 26 years, the legendary fighting game series FATAL FURY returns, reimagined for a new generation with a game-changing fresh take on the game’s already electrifying original soundtrack. Gaming giant SNK has partnered with Salvatore Ganacci, to create a bespoke musical experience unlike anything seen—or heard—before. With the tagline “REV IT UP”, FATAL FURY’s pre-campaign sets the tone for a fusion of gameplay and music. This latest sequel, FATAL FURY: CITY OF THE WOLVES, will officially launch on April 24th, and at the heart of this monumental project is the appointment of Salvatore Ganacci as this game’s collaboration music advisor, which specifically involves the stage music provided by international electronic artists and producers. Known for his boundary-pushing artistry and global influence, Ganacci played a pivotal role in curating and shaping this collaborative effort. Not only does he contribute his signature sound to the game, but he also helped curate and collaborate with an extraordinary roster of eleven international artists. Marking the first time a video game has enlisted such an expansive roster of global music talent to produce original, bespoke works.
What makes this collaborative soundtrack truly revolutionary is its design: 19 original compositions, each crafted to capture the essence of the game’s in-depth lore, diverse characters, and immersive stages. From the bustling energy of neon-lit cityscapes to the haunting atmospheres of ancient temples, every track becomes a part of the player’s journey, blending culture and narrative into an unparalleled experience. SNK PR Director, Naoto Mori: “This is a historic moment for FATAL FURY. In addition to the soundtrack we provided, this complimentary addition gives the game a fresh take that also truly honours the legacy of the game while bringing it into the future. All the artists delivered beyond our expectations, creating a sound that feels as epic as the battles themselves.” This music collaboration goes beyond gaming, offering a multi-sensory experience. Tracks are not only designed for gameplay but also for live performances, incorporating SNK Sound Team samples and gaming references and stage-specific lyrics. This innovative approach immerses players in both the digital and physical realms of FATAL FURY, revolutionising how music and gaming intersect. Salvatore Ganacci served as the music supervisor for this collaboration, curating and coordinating this ambitious effort. With trust from both SNK and the participating artists, Ganacci made sure to deliver an experience that every FATAL FURY fan is sure to enjoy.
“Being part of the soundtrack for the FATAL FURY legacy has been an incredible honor. The SNK Sound Team has created some of the best music in gaming history and working alongside them and some amazing artists to craft something that not only complements the gameplay but truly elevates the experience has been a dream come true." "Creating music for FATAL FURY through this collab was an amazing experience. It wasn’t just about making a Salvatore record—it was about how to enhance the energy of the fights while capturing the unique atmosphere of each stage. It’s been an exciting journey, and I can’t wait for players to experience it." – Salvatore Ganacci. FATAL FURY: CITY OF THE WOLVES is already available for pre-order, and the journey begins on April 24th when the full roster of artists will be revealed.
