Listen, we understand that combat games will always have guest characters. This is Dana, but I doubt that anyone, except for programmers in SNK, would ever think that player Cristiano Ronaldo would be a character from the game. However, here we are because SNK announced that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a comical figure in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.

The trailer for the first time shows us that Cristiano Ronaldo enters the room and soon he is surrounded by fatal figures of fury. Then suddenly it is in the game, and the miniature clip of the game shows Ronaldo using some of their ball skills as attacks to win the fight. He even takes the iconic Siu festival on the occasion that he won the fight. We live in a world where players will choose Cristiano Ronaldo as the main warrior in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
How did it happen? Well, SNK is almost entirely owned by Misk Foundation, the Saudi Non-Profit Foundation created by Mohammed Bin Salman, who became the Saudi prince a few years later. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo plays football at Al-Nassr FC, one of three clubs in Saudi Arabia, which is 75% owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. This is not a direct link from PIF to Misk, but they certainly work in similar circles.
The second beta test for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will take place from March 27 to March 31, with nine playing characters, including Tizoc, Cain R. Heinlein, Rock Howard, Terry Bogard, Hotaru Futaba, B. Jnet, Mai Shiranui, Preecha and Vox Reaper. There will be online modes, including a ranking match, free and peace. Offline modes will include tutorial and classic Contract mode, and the stages in both modes will train, the “Street Stars” bar, Universal Arena and Training Ground. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be available from April 24 on PC, PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series XS.
