Exclusive: Fatal Fury Director talks Wolfgang Krauser's big return and reveals the true reason the Emperor couldn't crouch as a boss
Key Points:
- Wolfgang Krauser makes his first appearance in nearly 30 years as a DLC character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, with the decision to bring him back finalized around August 2023.
- The development team aimed to stay true to Krauser's original character and style, updating his visuals slightly to reflect the passage of time while preserving his "frightening and powerful" image.
- A notable trivia revealed is that Krauser originally could not crouch in Fatal Fury 2 due to memory limitations, despite the in-game explanation that "the Emperor does not kneel."
- Krauser remains alive in the game's story, unlike Geese Howard who is dead, with future developments planned to explore their connection and the lore surrounding the Sacred Scrolls of Jin.
- The recent update also includes a new Story Mode and user interface overhaul, enhancing the overall experience alongside Krauser's return.
