In an unexpected crossover that has fans buzzing, Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time alongside Lionel Messi, is set to make a surprising appearance as a playable character in the upcoming fighting game, *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*. This marks one of the most unusual guest character inclusions in recent gaming history.

Ronaldo will be part of the game's launch roster, bringing his football prowess to the streets of South Town. SNK Corporation, the developer and publisher behind the game, has released a trailer showcasing Ronaldo reimagined in *Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves*' distinctive comic-inspired art style. In the game, Ronaldo utilizes football-themed attacks such as a command move called Headed Clearance and a slide tackle, complete with his iconic 'Siuuu' celebration. Notably, voice actor Juan Felipe Sierra lends his voice to Ronaldo, rather than the football star 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 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 is now almost entirely owned by the Saudi Crown Prince’s foundation, adding another layer of intrigue to this unique collaboration.

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