On September 26, SNK announcedStreet Fighter‘s Ken Masters and Chun-Li are joining the roster of its upcomingFatal Furytitle. The announcement was made duringthe developer’sblockat TokyoGameShowalong with a teaser trailer.
Coming just days afterFatal Furyprotagonist Terry Bogard’s release inStreet Fighter 6, the news that Capcom characters are crossing over into SNK’s intellectual properties as well, lit the fighting game community on fire.
Beloved YouTuber Maximilian Dood’s hilarious reaction to the trailer is alreadybeing memed into oblivion, and questions of what’s next in this working relationship between two fighting game titans are swirling in the rumor pool.
Fighting game players, especially of the older generation, are familiar with past crossovers between Capcom and SNK, such as theCapcom vs. SNKgames andSNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos. These crossover titles hold a legendary reputation and were foundational in the development of the FGC. They run so deep in the community that the CvS games held spots at EVO when it was still called Battle by the Bay.
2003 was the last time gamers received a full crossover fighting game from the two developers, but with Terry and Mai Shiranui inSF6and Ken and Chun inFatal Fury: City of the Wolves, it’s very likely one is in the works. But theStreet Fightercrossover isn’t the only one SNK is working on presently, as the company strangely announcedsoccer star Ronaldo’s involvementin its new title just one day before that.
Fatal Furyis available for pre-order on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC before its release on June 23, 2025.
