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

In an unprecedented move, 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 intriguing guest character appearances in recent gaming history.

SNK Corporation, the developer and publisher behind the game, has unveiled a trailer that showcases Ronaldo's integration into *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* with a comic-inspired art style. The trailer highlights Ronaldo's unique football-based attacks, including a command move called "Headed Clearance" and a slide tackle. Notably, Ronaldo performs his iconic "Siuuu" celebration, although his voice is provided by actor Juan Felipe Sierra rather than Ronaldo 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 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, competing in the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr 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.

*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 to enhance the gaming experience.
