Since September 2024, it was known that Cristiano Ronaldo would be joining Fatal Fury in the City of Wolves, though the specifics remained unclear. This has now become reality as SNK recently released a trailer announcing CR7’s addition to their fighting game roster. Indeed, this is quite surreal, given Saudi Arabia’s acquisition of SNK and Prince Mohamed Bin Salman’s strong interest in NeoGeo and football, which have opened up new possibilities. Alongside the reveal video, SNK also shared a gameplay trailer featuring Cristiano Ronaldo’s diverse attack moves, where he fights wearing his football kit and wielding an inflammable ball to defeat opponents. His 3D character can execute impressive actions such as aerial kicks, fierce tackles, and powerful shots that could overwhelm Terry Bogard, who cannot respond effectively. In Japanese, Masaaki Mizunaka provides the voice for Ronaldo, while in English, it is Juan Felipe Sierra; notably, Cristiano himself did not provide his own voice, likely due to a lack of acting experience in this context.
