Overview

  • Cristiano Ronaldo has been confirmed as a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, marking a unique crossover between sports and gaming.
  • Ronaldo's moveset features soccer-inspired attacks, including slide tackles, energy ball kicks, and his signature 'Siuuu' celebration as a victory pose.
  • The game, the first new entry in the Fatal Fury franchise in 26 years, is currently in open beta testing until March 31 ahead of its April 24 release.
  • Fans are divided over Ronaldo's inclusion, with some praising the novelty while others question its logic and potential ties to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which owns both SNK and Ronaldo's football club, Al-Nassr.
  • Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will also feature crossover characters like Ken Masters and Chun-Li from Street Fighter and is set to appear at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh this summer.
