Cristiano Ronaldo has announced a crossover with SNK’s Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. It seems Ronaldo will be appearing as a character in the upcoming game.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the most legendary football player of all time, is looking forward to a crossover in the SNK fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. A teaser shared by the football legend on his official X account shows his appearance in the game as a character.

Ronaldo shared the teaser as “something exciting in the making”. It starts by showing a football pitch in the hallways, with the lights turning red and introducing the CR7 moniker followed by “the legendary player joins a legendary game”.
It ends with an iron door ready to get smashed by a fighter of Fatal Fury ready to enter the hallways of a football pitch.
This collaboration is as exciting as it is weird for the fans of both football and fighting games. However, it also makes sense and is a genius move on SNK’s part.
Cristiano Ronaldo plays for the Saudi league and SNK is owned by a Saudi foundation. The roots of this collaboration involve Ronaldo’s connection with Saudi Arabia.
Apart from this connection, Ronaldo has a record-breaking of over 113M followers on X. SNK’s move in getting Ronaldo as a seemingly playable character sounds like a win in making Ronaldo fans play fighting games.
It is to be noted, that Ronaldo’s appearance as a playable character is a solid assumption based on what the teaser showed. The confirmation of this will be apparent in the future anticipated announcement.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is set to release on April 4, 2025 across all top gaming consoles.
