The Purple Lightning is coming to South Town!
Osaka, Japan — October 10, 2026 — SNK CORPORATION today announced a collaboration with Bandai Namco Entertainment’s TEKKEN series that brings TEKKEN 8’s Reina to FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves as the final DLC fighter for Season Pass 3. Reina will join the roster in December 2026.
With her recent debut in TEKKEN 8, Reina has quickly become a fan favorite among players worldwide. Behind her cheerful smile lies overwhelming power and ruthlessness, and powerful opponents await her arrival in South Town. Her signature fast-paced, aggressive TEKKEN fighting style has been blended with CotW’s REV System, delivering a fresh playstyle that brings together the best of both series.
Reina completes Season 3’s seven-fighter lineup, which also includes fan favorites Rick Strowd, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan; Tokyo Revengers’ Mikey and Draken, arriving together on October 22; and Laocorn from Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture in November. Their vengeance-fueled fates mirror Season 3’s theme and tagline: Destined for Revenge. The crossover also continues a connection between the two series: FATAL FURY’s Geese Howard joined TEKKEN 7 as a guest fighter.
Check out Reina’s teaser trailer here.
