Can he apply his soccer skills to the fighting game?
One of the greatest soccer players of all time is Cristiano Ronaldo. But even the greatest soccer players need a hobby, and what better hobby than appearing in the upcoming SNK game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves? The legendary soccer striker posted a short trailer for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves to his X (formerly Twitter) account on September 22, teasing that “Something exciting is coming!”

The 30-second trailer shows a football stadium and Ronaldo's jersey number, 7, flashes on a giant screen. The video features the words “A legendary player in a legendary game” on screen, followed by a name check of Ronaldo. The trailer ends with the Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves logo and the release date.

It's no surprise that Ronaldo posted a trailer for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, as Saudi Arabia's MiSK Foundation owns a 96.18% majority stake in SNK, and Ronaldo currently plays for Saudi Arabian football club Al Nassr FC, which is 75% owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. However, it's unclear whether the Al-Nassr FC striker will appear in the upcoming fighting game, despite the trailer. SNK plans to showcase Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 from September 26 to 29.
