What happened
EA and Capcom have announced a crossover for Apex Legends centered on Street Fighter 6. According to the provided sources, the event begins on 22 September 2026, with IGN listing a start time of 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET. Game Rant and EA’s own event page both point to the same collaboration and place it in September 2026.
The collaboration adds several types of content. The sources mention Street Fighter-inspired cosmetics, plus a Hadoken Mythic Universal Melee and a Wildcard Takeover. EA also describes the event as a Street Fighter 6 event with new Legend and weapon skins.
IGN further reports that players can earn eight Iconic Skins in the Reward Shop and mentions an Epic Skin for Lifeline as Li-Fen. The same source also includes a list of possible character pairings, including Sparrow as Ryu, Alter as Chun-Li, Bangalore as Elena, Mirage as Luke, Gibraltar as Akuma, Wattson as Cammy, Caustic as Blank, and Pathfinder as Dhalsim. Because part of the supplied fragment is cut off, that full list remains only partially verifiable.

Background
Apex Legends has partnered with other franchises before; external context even references an earlier Cyberpunk 2077 crossover. The new collaboration links EA’s battle royale with Capcom’s Street Fighter series and uses recognizable elements such as the Hadoken, one of the fighting game franchise’s best-known attacks.
The characters named in the fragments combine classic and more recent Street Fighter names. Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, Cammy, and Dhalsim are long-running series staples, while Luke and Elena point to newer Street Fighter entries. That fits the event’s description as a Street Fighter 6 crossover.
The sources mention more than cosmetics, including a Mythic Universal Melee and a Wildcard Takeover, so the collaboration appears to go beyond skins alone. However, the supplied fragments do not fully explain the rules, duration, or exact Reward Shop structure beyond the eight Iconic Skins mentioned.
