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

In an unprecedented crossover, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo is set to grace the roster of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as a playable character, marking one of the most unexpected guest appearances in fighting game history. Ronaldo, often hailed as one of the greatest footballers alongside Lionel Messi, brings his athletic prowess to the launch lineup of this eagerly anticipated title.

SNK Corporation, the game's developer and publisher, has unveiled a trailer showcasing Ronaldo's integration into Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves' distinctive comic-inspired art style. Ronaldo's character is equipped with football-inspired moves, including a command move named Headed Clearance and a slide tackle. Fans will also recognize his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration, though 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.

At 40 years old, Ronaldo currently plays for Al Nassr FC, a club based 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.

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