Respawn Entertainment announced that Street Fighter is coming to Apex Legends on September 22, bringing characters including Chun-Li, Ryu, and Akuma into the battle royale via special skins, a themed point of interest, and a Wildcard Takeover event mode. Apex Legends art director Alisa Rastorgueva said the collaboration pushed the team's character models further than ever, joking that the Street Fighter influence gave Apex heroes the 'thickest thighs' the game has ever seen. The crossover marks another high-profile collaboration for Apex Legends, following a pattern of licensed content partnerships used to draw attention back to the long-running battle royale.
