Highlights of Ver.2.2.0
New Playable Character: KENSHIRO
A post-apocalyptic storm has arrived in South Town...
Kenshiro.
The 64th successor to the ultimate assassination art, Hokuto Shinken. A wandering warrior with seven distinctive scars—the unmistakable mark of destiny—carved onto his chest. To the weak, lost, and broken, he extends a helping hand; to those who prey on them, he metes out merciless justice.
Witness the intense battles that unfold as the Fist of the North Star and the City of the Wolves collide!
* Kenshiro is not customizable in Color Edit.
New Stage: STIRRING RUINS
Solemn ruins from another world, reflecting an alternate reality that could have manifested. Survive in this brutal post-apocalyptic space by dominating your opponents both online and offline!
Episodes of the North Star?
Experience the unique world of Fist of the North Star with this brand-new episode! Characters you've leveled up in the standard EOST adventure can be used as-is here too. Put your best fighter forward and take to the streets!
Story Synopsis
Kenshiro is suddenly transported to a world and a city he has never
seen before: South Town. Though untouched by ruin, its people walk
with fear etched into their faces, whispering of a tyrant who should
no longer exist—Geese Howard, long deceased. Amid the creeping
terror and growing confusion surrounding the dreaded phantom,
Kenshiro resolves to seek out the truth. Rise, Fist of the North Star!
Become the savior of South Town!
Menu Artwork: Let the North Star Shine
The savior of century's end illuminates the mode menu with this special panel art. Make the switch via Settings > System > Menu Artwork and walk the true path of Hokuto Shinken!
