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

In an unexpected crossover that blends the worlds of sports and gaming, Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is set to become a playable character in the highly anticipated fighting game, *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. This move marks one of the most unusual guest appearances in recent fighting game history.

Ronaldo will be part of the game's launch roster, showcasing his skills in a unique way. SNK Corporation, the game's developer and publisher, has released a trailer that reimagines Ronaldo within *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*' comic-inspired art style. In the game, Ronaldo utilizes football-inspired 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.

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 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 Corporation is now almost entirely owned by the Saudi crown prince's foundation, adding an intriguing layer to this collaboration.

*Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* is set to launch on April 24, 2025, promising a dynamic art style, a mix of new and familiar fighters, and modernized battle systems that will bring fresh excitement to the franchise.
