Apex Legends might be about to throw hands with one of the biggest fighting game franchises ever. Leaker HYPERMYST posted claims that an Apex Legends x Street Fighter collaboration is on the way, with Sparrow taking on Ryu and Alter dressing up as Chun Li.
In Brief:
- HYPERMYST leaked an Apex Legends x Street Fighter crossover event
- Sparrow is reportedly getting a Ryu skin, while Alter takes Chun Li
- A follow-up leak claims Mirage is getting a Luke skin from the same collab
- Nothing has been confirmed by Respawn yet, so treat all of it as a rumor
Which Legends Are Getting Street Fighter Skins in Apex Legends?
Three pairings have surfaced so far. Sparrow as Ryu is the headline, and it makes sense on paper since Ryu is the face of the entire franchise and Sparrow is the newest addition to the Apex roster.
Alter as Chun Li is the one that has fans the most curious. Chun Li’s silhouette is instantly recognizable, and Alter’s design leans in a very different direction, so the crossover art is going to be interesting either way.
Then there is Mirage as Luke. Luke is the poster boy for Street Fighter 6, and Mirage is Apex’s resident showboat. If Respawn was picking personalities to match rather than just body types, that one basically writes itself.
Apex Legends x Street Fighter Release Date
Neither Respawn nor Capcom have confirmed any details regarding this collaboration at the time of writing. Leaks around Apex have a decent track record, but skins get shelved, characters get swapped, and entire events get delayed all the time.
