A new challenger enters. Two of gaming’s fiercest competitions meet in a single Arena – Apex Legends is pulling Street Fighter 6 into Wildcard, where you throw Hadokens and Shoryukens across a remixed version of Olympus.
Fighter Gear and four fighting styles
You drop into Wildcard, grab your Fighter Gear and channel the power of a Street Fighter 6 character. You pick between the fighting styles of Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma and Dhalsim, and each one comes with its own Passive, Tactical and Ultimate built straight out of that character’s Street Fighter 6 moveset.
So instead of the usual kit you’re used to from the Apex Legends Legends, you’re working with an ability set borrowed from a fighting game – which changes how you approach a fight from the ground up.
Fight Gauge and Fighter Form
Collect Tokens to fill up your Fight Gauge, then unleash Fighter Form. That flips the game into third-person combat with your Fighter Gear’s Tactical and Ultimate unlocked, plus:
- stronger melee
- a block
- damage resistance
- bonus movement speed
Fighter Form is the payoff moment of the whole mode – the reward for collecting Tokens instead of just holding an angle. If you’re still finding your footing in Apex, our guide on how to play Apex Legends covers the basics before you dive in.
Olympus as a Street Fighter 6 remix
All of it goes down on a Street Fighter 6 remix of Olympus. You can throw down in Luke’s Gym and look around for Blanka-chan balloons, statues, arcade cabinet decorations and more scattered across the map.
8 new Iconic Skins and a Hadoken melee
The collection dresses Legends up as Street Fighter 6 characters across 8 new Iconic Skins. Among them are Sparrow as Ryu, Alter as Chun-Li, Gibraltar as Akuma and Pathfinder as Dhalsim, with more in the set. On top of that there’s the new Hadoken Mythic Universal Melee cosmetic and a matching Deathbox.
Where to go next
We already covered the start of the crossover in our piece on the Street Fighter event, and everything else around the game lives in our Apex Legends news hub. If you want to know what to pick up once you’re back in a normal match, we have a separate weapons guide too.
