At the end, the video said: “A legendary player joins a legendary game.”
While the teaser did not feature the five-time Ballon d’Or award winner as a character in Fatal Fury, it depicted someone attempting to break out of a room.
While the potential inclusion of the renowned athlete in the violent fighter may seem unusual, it may still be a smart move by the game’s developer, Esports Illustrated reported.
With a background that includes stints at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Ronaldo has garnered significant popularity among football fans and gamers.
The recent development comes weeks after Ronaldo made headlines worldwide for breaking records and becoming a top content creator soon after launching his YouTube channel.
Furthermore, while the specific release date for the athlete’s debut in the latest version of Fatal Fury has not been announced yet, speculation suggests that further details may emerge during the Tokyo Game Show next weekend.
