In an unexpected and thrilling twist, football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is stepping into the fighting game arena as a playable character in SNK’s upcoming title, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. What began as a seemingly impossible rumor has now been confirmed, with Ronaldo himself commenting on the unique experience, calling it “very cool.” The news has sent shockwaves through both the fighting game and football communities — and at Pinkrepack, we're here to break down all the electrifying details.
⚽ From Pitch to Pixels
Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his explosive speed and iconic “SIIIIUUU” celebration, has been fully animated into Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. SNK has released gameplay footage that showcases Ronaldo's exclusive move set, featuring EX dribbles, powerful ball kicks, uppercuts, and of course, his signature celebration as a finisher move.
Ronaldo expressed his excitement in a recent behind-the-scenes video, saying he’s honored to be part of a “traditional and legendary fighting game” and especially loves his flashy special attacks.
🎧 Not Just Ronaldo: Salvatore Ganacci Joins the Party
But Ronaldo isn’t the only unexpected guest. SNK is adding Salvatore Ganacci, the eccentric DJ known for his viral Tomorrowland performances, as another unique fighter. His style is as wild as his real-life energy — think dance-infused attacks with vibrant effects tied to music and rhythm.
The inclusion of non-traditional characters like Ronaldo and Ganacci alongside veterans like Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, Ken, and Chun-Li is a sign that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is shaping up to be a bold and boundary-pushing entry in the genre.
🕹️ Sports and Fighting: A Legacy Continues
While this crossover may seem surprising, SNK has a history of blending sports with combat. Fans may recall characters like Lucky Glauber, Heavy D!, and Brian Battler from The King of Fighters series — all sports-themed warriors that paved the way for Ronaldo’s debut.
With SNK pushing the limits and embracing cultural icons, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is set to redefine what fans can expect from the genre in 2025.
💥 What to Expect Next
As we inch closer to release, SNK promises more trailers, character reveals, and possibly even more surprising guest fighters. Whether you’re a lifelong Fatal Fury fan or a newcomer drawn by Ronaldo’s presence, the action looks absolutely unmissable.
