Apex Legends VS Street Fighter Brings Chun-Li, Ryu, Akuma, and More to the Outlands

Street Fighter is coming to Apex Legends on September 22, bringing its high-kicking action to the first-person battle royale with special skins, a decked-out POI, a Wildcard Takeover, and more.

This collaboration hurricane-kicks its way into the Outlands on Tuesday, September 22 at 10am PT / 1pm ET. We’ve outlined everything you can expect from Apex Legends’ Street Fighter makeover below.

Players will have the chance to nab eight Iconic Skins in the Reward Shop that transform their Legends into characters from Capcom’s beloved fighting game franchise, as well as one Epic Skin for Lifeline as Li-Fen, Chun-Li’s protege in Street Fighter 6’s World Tour story mode. We’ve included a list of all these characters below, as well as comments about the skins from Apex Legends’ art director, Alisa Rastorgueva, from a closed session with the media:

● Sparrow as Ryu: “We’re really thinking about personality, playstyle, silhouette when matching our Apex Legends with their Street Fighter counterparts. Sparrow felt the closest to Ryu's grisly self in Street Fighter 6 specifically, and we really wanted to push the muscle definition for this skin.”

● Alter as Chun-Li: “We wanted to make sure Alter could do Chun-Li justice. We pushed the silhouettes of these models and bodies.”

● Mirage as Luke: “Luke is Street Fighter 6’s breakout character, so we really wanted to feature him. Mirage felt like an obvious match in terms of personality, since they never take themselves seriously.”

● Gibraltar as Akuma: “This was definitely a fun skin for Gibby. His size and silhouette gave us a good canvas to bring that to life.”

● Wattson as Cammy: “They really complement each other. How Wattson operates matches well with Cammy’s fighting style.”
