Apex Legends Officially Crosses Over With Fall’s Most-Anticipated Action Movie

Electronic Arts has officially announced an upcoming crossover event that will transplant the iconic roster of Street Fighter 6 directly into the chaotic arena of Apex Legends. Set to launch next week, this high-profile collaboration arrives precisely one month prior to the theatrical debut of the celebrated fighting franchise’s brand-new cinematic adaptation.

Detailed further in an official blog post on the main Apex Legends portal, the limited-time festivities are officially titled Apex Legends vs Street Fighter 6—a nostalgic nod to legendary crossover milestones like Marvel vs. Capcom. Scheduled to run from September 22 through October 13, the centerpiece of the update is an innovative “Wildcard” playlist that temporarily ditches traditional firearm combat in favor of close-quarters melee brawling. Participants will assume the mantle of four distinct World Warriors, gathering currency to charge a dedicated Fighter Gauge that unleashes devastating special moves upon entering a powered-up Fighter Form.

The specialized mechanics for the four selectable Wildcard combatants include:

• Ryu: Rapidly close the distance with swift footwork, project ranged Hadokens, and deliver a devastating finishing Shin Shoryuken uppercut.
• Chun-Li: Execute wall-runs to ambush adversaries with accelerated melee strikes, hurl Kikoken energy spheres, and dominate territory using a charged Kikosho blast.
• Akuma: Unleash punishing Gou Hadoken demon fireballs from afar before rushing opponents down with the lethal Shun Goku Satsu.
• Dhalsim: Hover gracefully above engagements in low gravity, manipulate battlefield positioning via Yoga Teleport, and rain fiery devastation downward with a Yoga Sunburst.

Action unfolds across a heavily modified variant of the beloved Olympus map, thoughtfully redesigned with numerous subtle and overt homages to Capcom’s iconic universe. The climactic final round, aptly named “Showdown,” grants all surviving combatants an infinite Fight Gauge to ensure every match concludes in a spectacular, action-packed frenzy.

All Apex Legends vs Street Fighter 6 Crossover Skins

Additionally, the event introduces eight brand-new Iconic-tier outfits—the rarity classification exclusively reserved for major franchise collaborations—transforming familiar Legends into iconic fighters. The full collection includes:

• Sparrow as Ryu
• Alter as Chun-Li
• Bangalore as Elena
• Mirage as Luke
• Gibraltar as Akuma
• Wattson as Cammy
• Caustic as Blanka
• Pathfinder as Dhalsim

Each individual character skin will be available for purchase at 2,150 Apex Coins. Beyond the headline-grabbing character cosmetics, players can acquire eight unique weapon skins, a pair of dynamic skydive emotes, themed holosprays, decorative stickers, badges, trackers, and banner frames. Furthermore, participants will earn Zenny currency during matches to unlock additional rewards, highlighted by an exclusive Epic skin for Lifeline that dresses her up as Li-Fen.
