In a surprise trailer dropped by the Street Fighter X (formerly Twitter) account, a crossover between Street Fighter 6 and Spy x Family Code: White is coming on January 9, 2024. The event serves as a promotion for the upcoming Spy x Family film, which will be released in Japanese theaters on December 22, 2023.
Aside from collaboration activities coming to Street Fighter 6 early next year, not much information was shown in the trailer. The X post said that additional information would be coming at a later date.
Street Fighter 6 is no stranger to collaborations. Since its release on June 2, 2023, the fighter has joined forces with several popular franchises including Baki and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While the Baki collaboration is relegated to fighter card aesthetics, the TMNT crossover had full-fledged costumes for all four Turtles.
This is where things get a little conflicting. While it was exciting to get the turtles in SF6, they came at a heavy cost, namely 750 Fighter Coins (roughly $15) each. So to get all four Turtles, players would have to drop about $60; and that didn’t include all of the extras like stickers and what-have-you. Adding insult to injury was that the Turtles weren’t actually characters; they were costumes for the player’s avatar. Compared to the Turtles’ inclusion in Injustice 2, whose pack was only $9.99 and had them as individual characters, it’s kind of a raw deal in SF6.
While I’m excited about the prospect of two franchises I greatly enjoy crossing over like this, I’m hesitant about how Capcom will implement it. Either we get a bland pack like Baki or we get overpriced content that isn’t usable outside of Avatar Battles. Here’s hoping I’m totally wrong and we get an Anya and Bond combo utilizing Psycho Power.
