The video game industry continues to surprise with unexpected collaborations, and the most recent of these is the inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo as a fighter in the new SNK title, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, scheduled for release on April 24, 2025. Unlike typical cameos, the Portuguese star will be a full fighter with unique moves inspired by his football skills.
A guest character completely out of place in every sense
Ronaldo will have a repertoire of attacks that will include everything from acrobatic kicks to ball throws, which he can use to attack his rivals from a distance. As part of his character, the footballer will celebrate his victories in the most iconic way possible, with his famous phrase: “Siiuuuu!” This addition has captured the attention of fans, who are already anticipating how the spirit of football will be integrated into the world of Fatal Fury.
The return of the Fatal Fury series, which hasn’t released a new title in over 20 years, brings with it a rich combination of iconic characters. Among the already confirmed fighters are Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, Tizoc, Hotaru Futaba, Gato, and Marco Rodrigues, promising a nostalgic experience for fans of the franchise. Additionally, the developers have hinted that there will be more surprises in the roster, opening the door to the possibility of seeing more classic or unexpected guest characters.
SNK has also announced an open beta that will take place from March 26 to March 31, 2025, giving players the opportunity to try the game before its official release. The platforms that will receive Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves include PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, allowing a wide audience to enjoy this new fighting adventure.
