In a shock trailer dropped by the Avenue Fighter X (previously Twitter) account, a crossover between Avenue Fighter 6 and Spy x Household Code: White is approaching January 9, 2024. The occasion serves as a promotion for the upcoming Spy x Household movie, which can be launched in Japanese theaters on December 22, 2023.

Except for collaboration actions coming to Avenue Fighter 6 early subsequent yr, not a lot data was proven within the trailer. The X publish stated that extra data can be coming at a later date.

Avenue Fighter 6 is not any stranger to collaborations. Since its launch on June 2, 2023, the fighter has joined forces with a number of widespread franchises together with Baki and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Whereas the Baki collaboration is relegated to fighter card aesthetics, the TMNT crossover had full-fledged costumes for all 4 Turtles.

That is the place issues get slightly conflicting. Whereas it was thrilling to get the turtles in SF6, they got here at a heavy value, specifically 750 Fighter Cash (roughly $15) every. So to get all 4 Turtles, gamers must drop about $60; and that didn’t embrace all the extras like stickers and what-have-you. Including insult to harm was that the Turtles weren’t really characters; they had been costumes for the participant’s avatar. In comparison with the Turtles’ inclusion in Injustice 2, whose pack was solely $9.99 and had them as particular person characters, it’s sort of a uncooked deal in SF6.

Whereas I’m excited in regards to the prospect of two franchises I enormously get pleasure from crossing over like this, I’m hesitant about how Capcom will implement it. Both we get a bland pack like Baki or we get overpriced content material that isn’t usable outdoors of Avatar Battles. Right here’s hoping I’m completely fallacious and we get an Anya and Bond combo using Psycho Energy.
