The only game I found that had more women than men was 2XKO, the League of Legends fighting game.
It released with 7 male characters and 4 female characters, but it's first season consists of 5 women and only 1 male character.
After the expansion roster was announced, there were comments on Reddit noting how there were a lot of women. Ironic since the new characters just barely made the games roster crack 50% female and it's one of the only fighting games in history that even does that

The fact that it took until Fatal Fury hit just 20% of its roster being women for Reddit (at least, I'm not on other FGC social media) to notice the gender disparity, but the instant 2XKO's women reached 50% of its roster, people seemed to start noticing. It reminded me of that one study about how men overestimate how many women are in a group. Like men would be shown a picture of a group, a third of which were women, and most men would think it was a 50/50 split. But if they were shown a group that was 50% women they'd assume it was majority women. Men just really aren't used to women occupying space
