SNK is bringing another familiar face from the franchise’s history to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, with Laocorn Gaudeamus officially joining the fighting game’s expanding roster on November 19 as part of Season 3 DLC. However, unlike many of the returning fighters, Laocorn has a particularly interesting history outside the mainline games, having originally appeared as the primary antagonist in the 1994 animated film Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture.
Laocorn’s arrival will also include his own Arcade Mode and Episodes of South Town story content, giving players more to experience beyond simply taking the new fighter into battle. His character trailer has also been released, offering a closer look at the overwhelming power and fighting style he will bring to the roster.
In Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Laocorn and his twin sister Sulia are descendants of the ancient warrior Gaudeamus. Driven by his pursuit of the legendary Armor of Mars, Laocorn seeks to obtain its extraordinary power and transcend humanity. His ambitions eventually bring him into conflict with Terry Bogard and his allies, with the final piece of the armor becoming part of the King of Fighters tournament’s prize.
More than three decades after his animated debut, Laocorn will now get the opportunity to face off against the series’ established fighters in a new setting. He is voiced by Branden Loera in English and Shin-ichiro Miki in Japanese.
Laocorn is the sixth fighter included in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Season 3, which has already introduced Rick Strowd, Duck King, Kim Kaphwan, Manjiro “Mikey” Sano, and Ken “Draken” Ryuguji. The season will conclude with the addition of Reina from TEKKEN 8 in December.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Season Pass 3 is available for $19.99 and includes all seven planned characters.
