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

In an unexpected twist that has fans buzzing, Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is set to join the roster of playable characters in the upcoming fighting game, *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. This marks one of the most unusual guest character appearances in recent gaming history.

SNK Corporation, the developer and publisher behind the game, has released a trailer showcasing Ronaldo's integration into the game's distinctive comic-inspired art style. Ronaldo's character comes equipped with football-themed attacks, including a command move called "Headed Clearance" and a slide tackle. Fans will also recognize his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration, although 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:

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 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 almost entirely owned by the Saudi Crown Prince’s foundation, adding another layer of intrigue to this collaboration.

*Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* is slated for release on April 24, 2025. The game promises a dynamic art style, a mix of new and familiar fighters, and modernized battle systems, ensuring an exciting experience for fans and newcomers alike.
