Kim Kaphwan is now a playable fighter in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, bringing his Taekwondo kicks and the fiery Phoenix finisher into the game as part of the Season 3 DLC lineup. He is voiced by June Yoon and drops in alongside a roadmap of monthly additions that runs through the end of 2026.
Quick answer: Kim Kaphwan is available now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store. Get him through Season Pass 3 ($19.99 / €19.99) or the Revenge Edition bundle ($49.99 / €49.99).
How to get Kim Kaphwan right now
Kim is a paid DLC character, not a free update. He is bundled inside Season Pass 3, which also covers the other Season 3 fighters and their stages. Once the DLC downloads, Kim appears as a selectable fighter on the character screen.
You can buy Season Pass 3 on its own or pick up the Revenge Edition, which packages the base game with all three season passes. Both options are listed on the game’s official store page.
| Purchase option | Price | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Season Pass 3 | $19.99 / €19.99 | Season 3 characters and stages, including Kim Kaphwan |
| Revenge Edition | $49.99 / €49.99 | Base game plus Season Pass 1, 2, and 3 |
Kim Kaphwan’s moveset and Phoenix super
Kim keeps the Taekwondo style long-time players expect. His kit is built around high-speed kicking strings, axe kicks, and aerial dive kicks, capped by his signature Phoenix super move.
Up close, Kim chains kicks into launchers and anti-air strikes, giving him strong pressure and combo routes. His attacks carry opponents toward the wall and set up ground bounces for extended damage.
His Phoenix (Hou’ou Kyaku) super finisher is a cinematic aerial multi-kick that ends in a blazing dive, the strongest payoff in his toolkit.
You can see the full set of moves in action in the launch trailer.
Season 3 DLC character schedule
Kim joins two fighters already released this season, with three more still to come. The upcoming additions include a Tokyo Revengers crossover and a returning Fatal Fury boss.

Switch 2 Starter Edition release dates
A Starter Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. The digital version releases on October 22, 2026 and is open for pre-order, while the physical version follows in January 2027.
Preordering grants the downloadable outfit Classic Mai Shiranui. The Switch 2 version has the same core game, with the REV System and the single-player Episodes of South Town mode.
With Kim Kaphwan live and three more fighters lined up through December, Season 3 continues its monthly cadence across every current platform, and the Switch 2 launch adds another way to play before the year ends.
