SNK has not revealed the full roster for Fatal Fury City of the Wolves, which is set to launch on April 24, 2025, as evidenced by the recent announcement of Gato during daytime on a Saturday. This announcement came during an esports tournament in China, marking his return as a martial arts specialist. While he had previously appeared in KOF 2003, KOF XI, and most recently in KOF XV, it was unexpected that Gato would return with impaired vision, recalling the dramatic ending of Garou Mark of the Wolves where he lost his sight due to his father’s actions. He returns with a fierce and swift fighting style, now facing downward due to his blindness. Another notable change is his new attire; he has traded his yellow jacket for a black one adorned with golden patterns, making him even more taciturn than before. His stage in this game is not the cascade from Mark of the Wolves but a forest offering a distant view of South Town.

Previously featured in KOF 2003, KOF XI, and KOF XV, this time Gato will have impaired vision, reflecting the ending of Garou: Mark of the Wolves where he lost his sight due to his father.
