The Metro City Master Takes on South Town

  • Voice Actors: David Matranga (EN) and Yuji Kishi (JA)
  • Bio: A veteran Metro City street fighter who sets his sights on South Town, seeking closure for an incident to which he was wrongfully tied. Burning with determination and a fiery arsenal of unmatched offense, this former US National Fighting Champion eventually crosses paths with the Legendary Wolf himself—and with that, the wheels of fate are set in motion. 

Ken’s Fated Encounter and an Unraveling Plot

Arcade Mode depicts the first meeting between Ken and Terry, serving as a prologue to their upcoming battles. In the single-player RPG mode “EOST,” follow Ken as he unravels the plot of a shadowy figure who has begun to warp the people of South Town. Additionally, players can choose to fight in style with Ken’s iconic martial arts gi (as seen in Street Fighter 6 as Outfit 2), if they so desire.

CR7’s South Town Story and Inspiring Mission

Cristiano Ronaldo is already available as a playable fighter in City of the Wolves, and now, players can experience the story of his visit to South Town in Arcade Mode, where he pushes his skills to the limit. But the journey doesn’t end in the ring: in the single-player RPG mode, EOST, players will follow Ronaldo on a heartfelt mission to inspire a young child and spark a lifelong love for soccer.

Music from DJ Alok serves as CR7’s character theme

Brazilian DJ and producer ALOK brings his signature style to FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves with ‘Fury (Siuuu)’, a powerful single now available on all streaming platforms. Composed exclusively for Cristiano Ronaldo’s character, the track serves as his official in-game theme and captures CR7’s energy, precision, and global impact. The track is now available on major streaming platforms. Listen to ‘Fury (Siuuu)’ here. Find ALOK’s music on his YouTube here.
