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

In an unexpected twist for fans of both football and fighting games, Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers alongside Lionel Messi, is set to join the roster of playable characters in the upcoming game, *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. This marks one of the most unique guest character appearances in fighting game history.

Ronaldo will be part of the launch lineup for *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*, which is slated to release on April 24, 2025. Developer and publisher SNK Corporation has unveiled a trailer that showcases Ronaldo's integration into the game's distinctive comic-inspired art style. In the game, Ronaldo employs football-themed attacks, 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 voice actor Juan Felipe Sierra, rather than the football star himself.

Here’s the official description of Ronaldo’s character in the game:

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 as a forward for Al Nassr FC, a professional football club based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, competing in the Saudi Pro League. The club 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 intrigue to this crossover.

*Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* promises to deliver a dynamic art style, a mix of new and familiar fighters, and modernized battle systems, ensuring an exciting experience for players when it launches in 2025.
