Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo hinted at collaborating with the legendary fighting game “Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.”
Currently residing in Saudi Arabia where he plays for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, the star footballer took to Instagram to share an uncharacteristic teaser post with the Fatal Fury hashtag.
The video ended with the announcement, “A legendary player joins a legendary game.”
Cristiano Ronaldo wrote in the caption of the post, “Something exciting in the making! #SNK #FatalFury #CR7.”
While the video did not feature the Portuguese footballer in the SNK-developed fighting game, fans were quick to speculate that Ronaldo will become a fighter in Fatal Fury’s latest title.

I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family, and my views on many different subjects. I am also looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will no doubt surprise people!” he added.
As per the Guinness World Records, around 19.72 million YouTube users subscribed his channel within the first 24 hours, earning him the title for the most YouTube subscribers gained in 24 hours.
