The announcement came with a character trailer. Duck King is a professional dancer and martial artist who blends dance with fighting, using light steps and tricky movements. His Japanese voice is provided by Anri Katsu, and his English voice by Cedric Williams. The update also adds Duck King stories to both EOST MODE and ARCADE MODE. In EOST MODE, Duck King seeks a rematch against Wolfgang Krauser, who he believes died but has reappeared in South Town. In ARCADE MODE, Richard Myer, owner of the Pao Pao Cafe, asks Duck King to help save the cafe from a buyout, leading Duck King to enter KOF for the prize money. Duck King's last playable appearance in a fighting game was The King of Fighters XI in 2005, making this his first in 21 years.","whyItMatters":"Duck King's return marks the first time the character has been playable in a fighting game since 2005, and his inclusion ties directly into the Season Pass 3 narrative of revenge, with his EOST MODE story reviving the presumed-dead Wolfgang Krauser.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eDuck King, a series veteran from the 1991 original Fatal Fury: Fatal Fury 2, is set to return in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves on August 27 as part of Season Pass 3.
