Cristiano Ronaldo joins a fatal Fury video game as a playable fighter

You actually did it. After a mysterious collaboration with Cristiano Ronaldo last year, SNK announced that the football player will not only be a skin or advertising spokesman, but also a playable figure in the coming Deadly anger: city of the wolves. The fighting game starts in April.

While strange on paper, its appearance in Deadly anger: city of the wolves It can probably be attributed to his popularity in Saudi Arabia, which has been playing for the Al-Nassr Football Club since 2023, since SNK is currently owned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s non-profit Misk Foundation.

Ronaldo has also been known for a allegations of rape in recent years, which was first published in 2017 when the German website Der Spiegel has an agreement between the football player and an accuser who claimed Ronaldo raped it in Las Vegas in 2009.

Her case was dismissed in 2022 due to a “poorly happy behavior” of her lawyer, and the following year a subsequent appeal was rejected.

Deadly anger: city of the wolves has been the first new entry in the pre-king king series for almost 25 years. Other playable characters are Andy Bogard, Mai Shiranui and Joe Higashi as well as crossover appearances by Street Fighter actors Chun-Li and Ken Masters. It will start on April 24th on Playstation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
