Character Crossover
Reina, who made her debut in Tekken 8, is coming to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The announcement comes from a short teaser trailer from SNK Official.
The Tekken fighter joins the City of the Wolves roster as a playable character, alongside other guest characters such as Street Fighter’s Chun-Li, Fist of the North Star’s Kenshiro, and soccer star Christiano Ronaldo. Reina is believed to be the daughter of Heihachi Mishima.
Tekken 7 previously featured Geese Howard, one of the primary antagonists of Fatal Fury, as a guest character, returning the favor between the franchises.
Release Timeline
The trailer doesn’t give much away, but it’ll be interesting to see how Reina’s Mishima School fighting style gets translated into Fatal Fury. This announcement follows trailers for Manjiro Sano and Ken Ryuguji, who arrive in South Town on October 22.
Reina is expected to hit City of the Wolves in December, following Laocorn's release in November.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has been praised as a wonderful update to classic SNK one-on-one combat.
Community Teases
Eagle-eyed players had already predicted the inclusion of Reina, noting the purple color of Season 3 fitted with the character’s aesthetic. In the teaser trailer, she appears only as a silhouette in the background.
Reina is considered a complex character to master in Tekken 8, thanks to her diverse moveset, unbreakable throws, and stance changes.
The character’s pick rate in Tekken 8 Ranked is 3.1% alongside a 46% win rate, though her performance and reception in City of the Wolves remain to be seen.
