In what would seem like an unlikely collaboration, the legendary soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo has been added as a playable character in the upcoming installment of the arcade fighting franchise, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves—and the fun part is that he will be bringing his ball.
“Big news to share with everyone today!” Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. “I’m going to be a character in the new fighting game FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves!”

In the 1990s, there was a boom in arcade fighting games, and Fighting Fury was one of the titles that rocked the era. The first Fatal Fury was released in 1991 which some still recognize to date as the dawning of a new era.
The story revolved around the tale of brothers Terry and Andy Bogard and the Japanese Muay Thai champion Joe Higashi who are on the quest for vengeance against the nefarious South Town kingpin Geese Howard.
Following the success of the first release, Fatal Fury 2 was released a year later. With it came the first female fighter Mai Shiranui. The franchise also shifted from single to two-player competition. It was followed again the next year with Fatal Fury Special which was an all-star brawl with fighters from two previous titles.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will launch on April 24, 2025, across the current and recent-past console generations and the books are already open for preorders. You can preorder the game here.
The Cristiano Ronaldo collaboration trailer shared by the developer showed the legendary soccer player dishing out devastating combos which included conjuring a glowing soccer ball and kicking it at his opponent.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only new feature coming to Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. The game is introducing a new REV System which contains new toolsets that “offers unique offensive options” to players.
