In a thrilling celebration of fighting game history, Capcom is offering all Street Fighter 6 players a special gift to commemorate a legendary crossover. To mark the guest appearances of two iconic World Warriors in the upcoming SNK title Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, players can now claim free Special EX Colors for Ken and Chun-Li at no cost.
This surprise content drop deepens the exciting collaboration between two of the most revered franchises in the fighting game community. The new color schemes are directly inspired by iconic SNK characters, giving Ken and Chun-Li a fresh look that pays homage to their friendly rivals. This free cosmetic pack is available now for all players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
A Legendary Crossover Celebration
The release of these free colors is a direct celebration of Chun-Li’s recently announced inclusion as a guest fighter in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, which is slated for release in early 2025. She joins her fellow Street Fighter icon, Ken Masters, who was also previously confirmed as a DLC character for the highly anticipated SNK title.
This collaboration is a significant moment for fans, harkening back to the beloved "Capcom vs. SNK" series from the early 2000s. The renewed partnership between the two developers shows a powerful sense of unity and mutual respect within the fighting game genre. By offering this content for free, Capcom is not only generating excitement for SNK’s upcoming game but also rewarding the dedicated Street Fighter 6 player base with high-quality, meaningful cosmetics.
What Do the New Fatal Fury EX Colors Look Like?
The new Special EX Colors are more than just a simple palette swap; they are a thoughtful tribute to SNK's own legendary fighters, designed to be instantly recognizable to fans of both series. The colors apply to Outfit 1 for both Ken and Chun-Li.
- Ken Masters (Terry Bogard Inspired): Ken’s new look is a clear nod to the face of the Fatal Fury franchise, Terry Bogard. His traditional red gi is replaced with a vibrant red bomber jacket, a plain white shirt, and blue pants, perfectly mirroring Terry’s classic "King of Fighters" design. It’s a fantastic tribute that fits Ken’s American movie star persona perfectly.
- Chun-Li (Mai Shiranui Inspired): The First Lady of Fighting Games, Chun-Li, receives a striking red and white color scheme for her iconic qipao. This design appears to be heavily inspired by another legendary SNK kunoichi, Mai Shiranui. The bold red fabric accented with white trim gives Chun-Li a fiery and elegant appearance that beautifully complements her powerful fighting style.
