Street Fighter 6's Mind-Blowing Crossover Will Leave You Speechless

Capcom has been experiencing a successful streak lately, with its core franchises receiving positive reception. Resident Evil has not only had great sequels but also incredible remakes, Monster Hunter has reached a wider audience than ever before, and Street Fighter 6 has received critical acclaim not seen in over a decade. Although Capcom has already started the year off strong with Resident Evil 4 and Street Fighter 6, there is still much more to come in 2023. Up next is Exoprimal, a multiplayer co-op dinosaur shooter that combines elements of Anthem and Earth Defense Force, with a touch of Dino Crisis added in. And for those who need even more incentive to try it out, Exoprimal has announced a unique crossover with Street Fighter 6.

Ryu in Exoprimal Looks Absolutely Bizarre

Capcom unveiled a new aspect of Exoprimal during the Summer Game Fest, showcasing a DLC that features a crossover with Street Fighter 6. The one-minute trailer gives fans a glimpse of a robotic Ryu sporting an Iron Man-like reactor in his armored back, unleashing energy blasts to push back a triceratops and hadoukening a Tyrannosaurus rex in the mouth. The trailer also introduces a robotic Guile, who dives through the sky with his usual haircut and blade arms potentially taken from the Zephyr suit. While Ryu and Guile are not new playable characters in Exoprimal, they serve as cosmetic skins that can be applied to a pre-existing exosuit.

Ryu in Exoprimal Could Be Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Rumors suggest that Ryu and Guile's robotic versions may make an appearance in Street Fighter 6 as downloadable skins, which could prove to be a strategic cross-promotion for both franchises. What's even more intriguing is the appearance of the text "Capcom Collab 1" above both games' logos at the end of the Exoprimal x Street Fighter crossover trailer. Though nothing has been confirmed, this implies the likelihood of more collaborations between Capcom franchises in the future.

Capcom's recent release of high-quality video games indicates the publisher's intention to promote its franchises in every possible way. Creating unconventional crossovers like these might be the best approach to achieve this goal. While a Blanka appearance in Resident Evil 4's Mercenary mode doesn't make much sense, it would definitely spark conversations, and ultimately, that's what matters most when promoting a game.

Fans of Capcom's Exoprimal crossover can expect to get more information about the game during the upcoming Capcom Showcase on June 12. With any luck, the event will provide a clearer understanding of the Capcom Collabs as a whole, giving fans something to look forward to. In the meantime, Street Fighter 6 is readily available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S for those looking for a great gaming experience.
