In a vibrant fusion of gaming and music, the newly released fighting game “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” has partnered with Filipino P-pop sensation SB19 for a dynamic music video featuring their high-energy track “Dungka.” This collaboration, announced by SNK Corporation, merges the thrill of virtual combat with the pulsating beats of Pinoy pop, captivating fans across both industries.
A Winning Combo: Gaming Meets P-pop
The seventh installment in the iconic “Fatal Fury” series, “City of the Wolves” introduces players to innovative features like the “Rev” system for special moves, dual control schemes, fresh characters, diverse match modes, and a striking new art style. Published by SNK Corporation, the game has already generated buzz for its modernized take on the classic fighting genre. Adding to the excitement, the game includes a surprising cameo by football legend Cristiano Ronaldo as an in-game character. 
Under the game’s “Rev it up” tagline, SNK has rolled out a series of music video collaborations with international artists, blending cinematic battle sequences with live performances. Among these, SB19’s contribution stands out, featuring their track “Dungka” from the recent EP “Simula at Wakas.” The video showcases the “Fatal Fury” character Tizoc, a pro-wrestler dubbed “an invincible symbol of justice,” returning to the ring in sync with the song’s infectious rhythm.
SB19: Gamers and Performers Unite
SB19, often hailed as the “P-pop Kings,” are no strangers to the gaming world. The group expressed their excitement in a statement, saying, “We are truly honored to collaborate with a distinguished title celebrated for its sophisticated combat system and exceptional gameplay. As avid enthusiasts of interactive video games, we are thrilled by the opportunity to contribute to a project of this scale and significance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to SNK Corporation for initiating this partnership and entrusting us with the chance to be part of such an iconic franchise.”
Their track “Dungka,” with its bold lyrics like “Tumabi ka d’yan! Dun ka na!”—roughly translating to “Step aside! Go over there!”—serves as a fitting battle cry for gamers facing off against virtual foes. Fans of both SB19 and “Fatal Fury” have taken to social media to share how the song’s energy amps up their gameplay, whether they’re tackling bosses or competing in online guilds.
A Global Stage for Music and Gaming
This collaboration is part of a broader strategy by SNK to connect with diverse audiences through music. Alongside SB19, the game’s promotional campaign features partnerships with other international talents, including J-pop singer Ado and Thai rapper and singer Milli. These cross-cultural tie-ins highlight the universal appeal of gaming as a medium that transcends borders, much like music itself.
For SB19, the timing couldn’t be better. The group is set to kick off their world tour with back-to-back shows at the Philippine Arena on May 31 and June 1, 2025. This collaboration with “Fatal Fury” adds another layer of excitement to their growing global presence, bridging their musical talents with the interactive world of gaming.
A Cultural Milestone for Filipino Talent
The partnership between SB19 and SNK Corporation marks a significant moment for Filipino pop culture on the international stage. P-pop, a genre inspired by K-pop but infused with distinctly Filipino flair, has been gaining traction worldwide, and SB19 has been at the forefront of this movement. Their inclusion in a major gaming franchise like “Fatal Fury” underscores the growing influence of Filipino artists in global entertainment.
As fans eagerly stream the “Dungka” music video and gear up for SB19’s world tour, this collaboration serves as a reminder of how art forms—whether music or gaming—can unite communities across the globe. For now, gamers and music lovers alike can revel in this unique blend of Pinoy pride and virtual combat, a match made in digital heaven.
