As a lifelong fan who’s spent countless hours honing my skills in the arcade halls of yesteryears, the news about Cristiano Ronaldo joining forces with Fatal Fury is nothing short of electrifying! I still remember the thrill of those late-night showdowns with Terry Bogard and his wolf gang comrades.
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed plans for a collaboration with City of the Wolves, a game aiming to rejuvenate the Fatal Fury series. It’s possible that this football icon could become a character you can play in the game, generating excitement that the franchise hasn’t experienced before.
Although the Fatal Fury series has produced numerous spin-offs and related titles that have sustained SNK’s presence within the fighting game sphere, it’s now close to 30 years since the release of Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves, the latest mainline FF title.
Over time, The King of Fighters has surpassed the original series it was spun off from, and Terry Bogard has made appearances in numerous games to maintain his status as SNK’s main character. Nevertheless, Fatal Fury now appears more like an ancient artifact than a popular gaming franchise.
Despite having an amazing time reliving my memories with Fatal Fury: City of Wolves at EVO 2024, it’s undeniable that this classic fighting game series has been largely forgotten, and could greatly benefit from a revival to achieve the same level of mainstream success as powerhouses like Street Fighter and Tekken.
To create excitement, the creators of CotW turned to an unlikely source: football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Something exciting in the making! #SNK #FatalFury #CR7

The King of Fighters series and its spinoffs have consistently attracted a devoted fanbase, with notable fighters from other battle arenas such as Tekken’s Arslan Ash and Street Fighter 6’s EWC 2024 champion Xiaohai being globally recognized as top-tier King of Fighters players.
Despite consistently ranking near the top in signups among other fighting game titles at major tournaments such as EVO and Combo Breaker, King of Fighters 15 finds itself near the bottom. For years, SNK fighting games have been a niche market, yet they’ve managed to retain a substantial following in Mexico and South America. This popularity can be attributed to the affordability of SNK arcade machines compared to their competitors during the 90s and early 2000s.
To generate excitement for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves and compete with top-tier fighting game titles, an unexpected collaboration with one of the world’s most famous celebrities could be just what’s needed. This strategic move has the potential not only to rejuvenate the Fatal Fury series but also to make it a thriving force in the gaming community.
It’s uncertain how closely Ronaldo will be involved in the game, but merely a brief promotional video featuring him has attracted millions of viewers who might not have been aware of the game previously.
