Cristiano Ronaldo Joins Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as Playable Character

In a surprising twist that blends the worlds of sports and gaming, Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is set to join the roster of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as a playable character. This unexpected crossover marks one of the most unique guest appearances in fighting game history.

SNK Corporation, the game's developer and publisher, has released a trailer showcasing Ronaldo's integration into the game's distinctive, comic-inspired art style. Ronaldo's character brings his football prowess into the fight, featuring moves like the "Headed Clearance" and a slide tackle. Fans will also see his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration, although Ronaldo's voice is provided by actor Juan Felipe Sierra.

Here's the official description of Ronaldo's character:

One of the top football players in the world. He uses his time off to visit South Town to hone his new football skills. The various techniques he has developed playing football make him an unstoppable force, even to seasoned fighters.

Currently, the 40-year-old Ronaldo plays for Al Nassr FC, a club in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, competing in the Saudi Pro League. The team is majority-owned by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Interestingly, SNK is now predominantly owned by the Saudi crown prince's foundation, adding another layer of connection between Ronaldo and the game.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is slated for release on April 24, 2025, promising a dynamic art style, a mix of new and familiar fighters, and updated battle systems that will enhance the gaming experience.
