The battle royale game PUBG has officially announced a new collaboration with the iconic fighting game Street Fighter 6. The star of the collaboration is the themed skins, which are premium cosmetics that let you play as a different character. Five distinct characters, such as Ryu and Cammy, will make an appearance, while a Luke costume from Street Fighter VI also arrives with the other characters. Chun-Li adopts a vintage and traditional appearance for this release, building on nostalgia for fans of the series.
Fans can also expect more in-game accessories inspired by the Street Fighter franchise to arrive alongside the skins. The crossover is a part of the Survivor Summerfest, which is a Street Fighter 6 promotional event where Capcom promotes its other games to a larger audience.
