In a groundbreaking fusion of music and gaming, SNK Corporation, the renowned Japanese video game developer, has teamed up with the Philippines’ P-pop sensation SB19 for a dynamic collaboration featuring the newly released fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The partnership, centered around SB19’s high-energy track “DUNGKA!” from their third EP Simula at Wakas, has resulted in a cinematic music video that blends the group’s genre-defying sound with the adrenaline-pumping action of the game.
The collaboration, announced on May 26, 2025, coincides with the release of Simula at Wakas, a seven-track EP that reflects SB19’s artistic journey amid fame, pressure, and self-discovery. “DUNGKA!,” a bold and electrifying single, was inspired by the game’s iconic tagline, “REV IT UP.” The music video showcases SB19’s dynamic choreography and vocals alongside cinematic battle sequences from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, featuring the fan-favorite character Tizoc, a pro-wrestler known as “an invincible symbol of justice.” The video captures the essence of the game’s intense combat system and vibrant art style, creating a whirlwind of excitement for fans of both the group and the franchise.
“We are truly honored to collaborate with a distinguished title celebrated for its sophisticated combat system and exceptional gameplay,” SB19 shared in an official statement. As avid enthusiasts of interactive video games, the group says “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.”
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, released on April 24, 2025, marks the seventh installment in SNK’s legendary Fatal Fury series and the first mainline entry in 26 years. The game has garnered attention for its innovative “Rev” system, which enables special moves and attacks, as well as its distinct art style and diverse character roster, including unexpected additions like football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. The collaboration with SB19 is part of SNK’s broader strategy to engage global audiences through partnerships with international artists, following a similar music video collaboration with Japanese singer Ado for her song “FREEDOM.”
The music video has sparked significant buzz on social media, with fans on X praising the synergy between SB19’s infectious energy and the game’s high-octane aesthetic.

As SB19 prepares for their Simula at Wakas World Tour Kickoff at the Philippine Arena on May 31 and June 1, this collaboration marks a significant milestone in their global influence, cementing their status as the “Kings of P-pop” and ambassadors of Filipino talent on the world stage.
