Reina From Tekken 8 Joins Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves In December
Reina moves in the opposite direction of the usual crossover traffic, since Tekken's Kazuya Mishima previously appeared in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so Tekken is now lending a character to a rival studio's flagship fighter.

SNK announced at EVO France 2026 in Nice on October 10, 2026 that Reina from Tekken 8 will join Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as a downloadable character. She is scheduled for release in December 2026. The teaser trailer shows Reina facing off against Nightmare Geese and launching a strike, with lightning-like attack effects carried over from her appearance in Tekken 8. Reina closes out Season 3 as its final additional character. SNK has not detailed her move set, and the circumstances behind the crossover will come later. Before Reina, the Season 3 slate brings Manjiro Sano (Mikey) and Ken Ryuguji (Draken) from Tokyo Revengers on October 22, followed by Laocorn Gaudeamus from the anime film Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture in November. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is available now on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S.
Automaton describes Reina as a "lightning-fast" aggressive fighter who carries the Mishima family techniques from Tekken 8, including the Wind God Step, the Wind God Fist derived from it, the Naraku move Naraku Muzan, and the Electric Wind God Fist, which improves in performance when the Wind God Fist command is input at maximum speed. In the teaser she keeps the defiant attitude she showed in Tekken 8 while confronting Geese, the series' boss character. Her attacks emit lightning-like effects just as in the original game.
Tekken characters have crossed into other series before: Kazuya Mishima joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bringing Tekken 7's Rage System, the Wind God Fist, and the Electric Wind God Fist. SNK has not said whether Reina will get the Electric Wind God Fist in Fatal Fury. The game also has an arcade mode, an online versus mode with cross-play, and a single-player RPG mode set in South Town.
