APEX LEGENDS VS STREET FIGHTER 6 EVENT

A new challenger enters! Two of gaming's fiercest competitions meet in one Arena as Street Fighter 6 smashes into the Outlands. 

Throw down in Wildcard with the fighting styles of Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, and Dhalsim, and launch Hadokens and Shoryukens across a remixed Olympus. 

Suit up as a Street Fighter 6 character with new Legend and weapon skins, plus a Hadoken Mythic Universal Melee, and more! 

The Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6 Event runs from September 22 to October 13.

SELECT YOUR FIGHTER

Drop into Wildcard, grab your Fighter Gear, and channel the power of a Street Fighter 6 character. Pick from 4 kits, each packing a Passive, Tactical, and Ultimate. Choose wisely: 

  • Ryu: Close in with fast movement, launch Hadokens at range, then finish with a powerful  Shin Shoryuken uppercut.
  • Chun-Li: Wall-run into the fight with faster melee attacks, fire Kikoken projectiles, then lock down a zone with a charged Kikosho blast.
  • Akuma: Launch Gou Hadoken demon fireballs from range, then close the distance and finish with a Shun Goku Satsu.
  • Dhalsim: Float above the fight on low gravity, control space with Yoga Teleport, and rain fire with a Yoga Sunburst from above.

FIGHTER FORM

Ready to throw hands? Collect tokens around the map to fill your Fight Gauge, then activate Fighter Form. You’ll switch to third-person camera and unlock your fighter’s full kit:

  • New Tactical and Ultimate
  • Stronger melee
  • Block ability
  • Extra damage resistance
  • Bonus speed 

Your Fight Gauge ticks down while you’re in Fighter Form, but landing your abilities can help refill your Fight Gauge. When it runs out, you’re back to normal.

SHOWDOWN

Stay in the fight to reach Showdown, the explosive final round. 

Everyone gets an infinite Fight Gauge to enter Fighter Form at will, and downed or respawning players are thrown straight back into the Arena. Then it’s time to FIGHT: a storm of fireballs and combos until one squad lands the final KO.

OLYMPUS REMIX

It all goes down on a vibrant Street Fighter 6 remix of Olympus! 

Step into Luke’s Gym and enter the Fight Night ring to activate Fighter Form, or smash up Punch Trucks for Tokens to fill your Fight Gauge. Keep an eye out for the other decorations: giant fighter statues standing guard, Street Fighter 6-inspired street art, Blanka-chan balloons, arcade cabinets, Street Fighter 6 signs, and more! 

HADOKEN MYTHIC UNIVERSAL MELEE
