Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has ignited speculation among his fans with a recent social media post hinting at a potential “side quest” related to the popular fighting game Fatal Fury. The 39-year-old Al Nassr striker posted a teaser on Instagram for the latest Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves DLC, suggesting his involvement in the game.
The teaser, captioned “Something exciting in the making!” and featuring the Fatal Fury hashtag, has left fans both confused and excited. The video, which ends with the message “A legendary player joins a legendary game,” depicts someone attempting to break out of a room, though it does not explicitly show Ronaldo as a character in the game.
Ronaldo’s involvement in a violent fighter game may seem unusual, but it could be a strategic move by the game’s developer. Esports Illustrated noted that Ronaldo’s vast popularity, built through his illustrious career at clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, makes him an appealing figure for both football fans and gamers.
This intriguing development comes on the heels of Ronaldo’s recent success in the digital space, where he broke records and became a top content creator shortly after launching his YouTube channel. The exact release date for Ronaldo’s debut in the latest version of Fatal Fury has not been announced, but further details are anticipated to be revealed during the Tokyo Game Show next weekend.
