Capcom Releases Special Animated Short for Spy x Family vs. Street Fighter 6
Capcom has announced a new collaboration event coming to Street Fighter 6, and it involves an unexpected crossover with the popular anime Spy x Family.
The company recently released a special animated short for Spy x Family vs. Street Fighter 6 ahead of the collaboration event in the fighting game. The animated short, which is about a minute in length, is produced by Wit Studio, the same studio that handles the actual Spy x Family anime.
In the animated short, Yor Forger squares up against Chun-Li on the Nayshall stage from SF6, with the same 2D perspective as the fighting game. The short showcases a colorful and flashy sequence of the two characters trading blows.
The Spy x Family vs. Street Fighter 6 collaboration event is set to begin on January 9, 2024. Collaboration items will be added to SF6 for a limited time to coincide with the release of the Spy x Family Code: White film.
While Capcom has not revealed the specific collaboration items, it is expected to include avatar items and stickers for use in the Battle Hub. Fans of the game are anticipating the addition of Spy x Family-themed items, including possible costumes for the characters.
This collaboration is not the first anime crossover for Street Fighter 6, as the game previously featured Baki the Grappler earlier this year.
Fans of both Spy x Family and Street Fighter 6 can check out the animated short for Spy x Family vs. Street Fighter 6 on Capcom’s official channels.
Overall, the collaboration between Spy x Family and Street Fighter 6 is an exciting development for fans of both the game and the anime, showcasing Capcom’s willingness to explore new crossovers beyond the realm of video games.
