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

In a surprising twist for gaming and sports fans alike, Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is set to make an unprecedented appearance as a playable character in the upcoming fighting game, *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. This marks one of the most unique guest character crossovers in recent memory, blending the worlds of football and combat gaming in an exciting way.

Ronaldo is included in the game's launch roster, showcasing his talents beyond the football pitch. SNK Corporation, the developer and publisher behind *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*, released a trailer that vividly reimagines Ronaldo within the game's distinctive comic-inspired art style. In the game, Ronaldo leverages his football skills with unique moves such as the "Headed Clearance" and a slide tackle, complemented by his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration. While Ronaldo himself did not provide the voice for his character, voice actor Juan Felipe Sierra brings Ronaldo's in-game persona to life.

The official description of Ronaldo's character emphasizes his status as a top football player who visits South Town during his off-time to refine his new football skills. His diverse football techniques are said to make him an unstoppable force, even against seasoned fighters.

At 40 years old, Ronaldo currently plays for Al Nassr FC, a prominent football club 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 also nearly entirely owned by the Saudi crown prince's foundation, creating a notable link between the game's development and Ronaldo's current football career.

*Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves* is set to launch on April 24, 2025, promising fans a dynamic art style, a mix of new and familiar fighters, and updated battle systems that are sure to captivate both gaming and football enthusiasts alike.
