Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves – April 24
 |
The Fatal Fury series returns after 26 years!
In 1999, SNK released Garou: Mark of the Wolves — one of SNK’s most famous and well-received fighting games — for the Neo Geo Arcade and Dreamcast consoles. No one anticipated that it would be the last entry in the Fatal Fury series for more than two decades, but the series seemed to vanish after the Neo Geo fell into obscurity.
Now, more than 25 years later, Fatal Fury returns with a vengeance on modern consoles. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will act as a sequel to Garou: Mark of the Wolves and introduce a roster of 17 new and returning characters, with five more DLC characters planned for a later release. Meanwhile, the game will revive familiar mechanics while also introducing new ones for a fresh experience.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves arrives on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on April 24!
Other notable video games releasing in April 2025 include:

Upcoming Film Releases
A Minecraft Movie – April 4
 |
Jack Black is everyone’s favorite “blockhead,” Steve, in the newest video game film adaptation after the success of others like The Super Mario Bros. movie.
Fans have been speculating for years about when Minecraft — the best-selling game across all console platforms — would finally be getting its own film adaptation. Now, it’s finally here: A Minecraft Movie is set to release in theaters on April 4, and prospective audiences are already betting on a wild and wacky story.
In the film, four misfits find themselves pulled into a strange world that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master the ins and outs of the world — including crazy things like building, mining and protecting it from piglins and zombies — while embarking on a magical quest with an expert crafter named Steve (Jack Black). Along the way, they’ll rediscover what it means to be uniquely creative and, hopefully, apply those skills when they get back to the real world.
Jason Momoa, Sebastian Hansen, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Jack Black partner up for a golden performance — A Minecraft Movie releases in theaters on April 4!
