Street Fighter 6 is Getting Darkstalkers DLC

Key Takeaways

  • Darkstalkers content was added to Street Fighter 6 with a paid pass, including Jon Talbain avatar items.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest collaboration between Street Fighter 6 and Darkstalkers is music to my ears (or should I say, eyes?). Growing up, I was a die-hard fan of both franchises, and seeing them come together now brings back a flood of nostalgic memories.


In a fresh update, Street Fighter 6 now includes content themed around Darkstalkers, following Capcom’s collaboration with SNK. The iconic Terry Bogard from SNK is now part of Street Fighter 6. Players are gearing up to celebrate Halloween in an exciting way within the game.

Similarly to how Street Fighter is a beloved series from Capcom, so is Darkstalkers. Launched in the mid-90s, it gained popularity by offering a fighting game with an unusual cast of characters – werewolves and vampires. Iconic figures like Felicia and Morrigan emerged from this group, eventually appearing in the Marvel Vs. Capcom games. With five main games, various adaptations, and appearances in other media, Darkstalkers continues to be a cherished franchise among fans.

Currently, the classic game series Darkstalkers is returning in a new crossover with Street Fighter 6. This collaboration is available until October 22, and players can acquire the Darkstalkers Fighting Gala Pass for 250 Fighting Coins ($5 USD) from the in-game store. By fulfilling weekly challenges, you can collect Kudos, which will grant you access to 30 tiers of rewards. Some of these rewards include outfits that will metamorphose your avatar into the werewolf character Jon Talbain. Talbain is a significant fighter in the original Darkstalkers, and he has appeared in nearly every game within the series.

Street Fighter 6 Gets Darkstalkers-Themed DLC

In Street Fighter 6, gamers can access perks from the Darkstalkers Pass, whether they’ve purchased it or not. The premium track offers goodies like a photo frame, challenger screen, titles, and music. This is another instance of collaboration in the game’s character lineup through the Fighting Pass, a monthly subscription service that delivers cosmetics with various themes. Earlier this year, players enjoyed a crossover event involving another Capcom property, merging cosmetics and items in a Mega Man and Street Fighter 6 collaboration.

As Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts rejoice over the latest Fighting Pass, the fate of Morrigan and her companions in Darkstalkers remains unclear. The last time we saw Darkstalkers was in 2022, when all five games from the series were compiled in the Capcom Fighting Collection, which became available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Regarding future releases, there’s no definitive timeline yet, but with Capcom hinting at resurrecting old IPs, fans of Darkstalkers eagerly anticipate when they might witness werewolves and vampires clashing in a new game once more.
