Cristiano Ronaldo will fight in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Although we are used to seeing incredible crossovers among different franchises and the appearance of stars and famous people of all kinds is not something uncommon in the world of video games, some of them are quite surprising. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will mark the return of the iconic fighting series. The new installment in one of the most popular fighting video game series, whose journey began in 1991, will arrive next month for the joy of the fans of the genre. The game will feature iconic characters, a unique art style, and modern gameplay mechanics, including the brand-new REV system that allows for even more spectacular combats.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will feature a total of 17 fighters as part of the core game but its roster can be expanded with even more characters via DLC. Of course, each of them has its own unique fighting style and aesthetics, but none of them will be as unexpected as the one SNK has announced recently.

CR7 can fight too

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is one of the best football players in the world and will be present as a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. SNK has released a presentation video for his first-ever appearance in the series and it's a big surprise. We already know that some characters from other popular fighting video game franchises will be in the game, like Ken Masters and Chun Li from Street Fighter, but the addition of the football player has really caught everyone offside.

We don't know if SNK has any other surprise announcement of this type up the sleeve ahead of the game's release. We really didn't see this one coming, even if Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman virtually owns SNK and also Al Nassr, the team Cristiano is playing for. In any case the release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is scheduled for April 24 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Series.
