Cristiano Ronaldo Joins Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves as Playable Character with Legendary SIUU Celebration

Football Superstar Enters the Fighting Arena

Global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is making headlines again - this time in the gaming world. The 40-year-old superstar will appear as a playable character in SNK's upcoming fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, marking the franchise's first new installment in 26 years.

CR7's Virtual Debut

• Character Design: Ronaldo appears in full football kit with his signature No. 7 jersey
• Voice Acting: Performed by Juan Felipe Sierra
• Special Moves: Features football-inspired attacks like step-overs, sliding tackles, and overhead kicks

Signature Finishing Move

The Portuguese legend brings his football flair to combat with:

1. Glowing Blue Ball Technique: Channels energy into football-style strikes
2. Free Kick Finale: Performs his trademark set-piece run-up before delivering a powerful midriff strike (complete with defensive wall animation)
3. Victory Celebration: Executes his famous "SIUU" pose amid electric sparks

Fatal Franchise Revival

Originally launched in 1991, the Fatal Fury series:

• Paved way for 90s fighting game revolution
• Spawned 11 sequels before hiatus after 1999's Mark of the Wolves
• Returns April 24 with new mechanics and roster

Not Ronaldo's First Gaming Venture

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner previously appeared in:

• EA Sports' FIFA series (as cover athlete multiple times)
• 2015's obscure Ronaldo & Hugo: Superstar Skaters

"This crossover blends football greatness with fighting game heritage in ways we've never seen before," says SNK creative director.

Fans can experience Ronaldo's virtual fighting skills when Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves launches on April 24, 2025.
