Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo is gearing up to become a playable character in the anticipated fighting game, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves. Developed by SNK Corporation, this exciting new title is set to launch on April 24, 2025, for PC and the latest generation of consoles.
Ronaldo shared the exciting news with his fans through a teaser video on his Instagram account on March 26, 2025, revealing his involvement in this iconic franchise.
A Historic Return with Cristiano Ronaldo
The FATAL FURY series is making a significant comeback, marking its first new installment in 26 years. The last title, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, debuted back in 1999, leaving fans eager for new content for decades.
This latest edition promises to carry on the narrative forged by its predecessor while introducing a fresh lineup of fighters. Cristiano Ronaldo’s participation adds a unique twist, as highlighted by his recent Instagram announcement:
“Big news to share with everyone today! I’m going to be a character in the new fighting game FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves! @fatalfury_pr Let’s have some fun on April 24th!”
Following Ronaldo’s announcement, SNK Corporation quickly released a series of gameplay trailers showcasing the soccer star’s character in action. While fans may be thrilled to see Ronaldo included, it is notable that the voice of his character will be provided by voice actor Juan Felipe Sierra, rather than Ronaldo himself. The trailers also hinted at an iconic victory pose, which might feature as a special finishing move or emote in the game.
For avid gamers, the Special Edition of FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves is available for pre-purchase, although the standard edition has yet to be released. The game will feature a total roster of 22 fighters, blending a mix of familiar characters alongside new entrants.
Of these characters, five will be included as part of Season Pass 1 DLC. Speculation remains regarding whether Cristiano Ronaldo will be included in this downloadable content.
