Listen to the story

Apex Legends, a popular battle royale game, has announced a new crossover event with Street Fighter 6. The event will begin on September 23.

The collaboration is officially called 'Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6'. It brings elements from the fighting game Street Fighter 6 into Apex Legends.

One exciting feature is that players will be able to perform the 'Hadoken', a famous special move from Street Fighter. This move can be used on the Olympus map in Apex Legends.

Before the official announcement, fans had already started to guess that a collaboration was coming. This happened after the official Street Fighter 6 account on X posted something related to the Hadoken command.

The post made many fans believe that something big was about to happen between the two games. Their guess turned out to be correct.

Apex Legends is known for regularly holding special limited-time events that bring new content, modes, or crossovers into the game. This event follows that tradition by combining characters or elements from Street Fighter 6 with the world of Apex Legends.

While full details about the event have not been shared yet, the announcement has already created excitement among players of both games. Fans are looking forward to seeing how the two very different game universes will come together on September 23.
