To celebrate this occasion, the series has announced a special collaboration with Street Fighter 6, the latest installment of the iconic fighting game series by CAPCOM. The collaboration was revealed with a stunning visual drawn by CAPCOM illustrator Chisato Mita, which shows Spy x Family’s Yor Forger, the deadly assassin and fake wife of the spy, facing off against Street Fighter 6’s Chun-Li, the Chinese martial arts master and Interpol agent. The visual also features the other members of the Forger family, Loid, Anya, and Bond, as well as Street Fighter 6’s Ryu and Li-Fen, watching the epic showdown. The collaboration is a perfect match, as both Spy x Family and Street Fighter 6 feature action-packed scenes, colorful characters, and a mix of humor and drama.
More Details About the Collaboration to Be Announced Later
The official Twitter account of the Spy x Family anime shared the collaboration visual with the fans, and teased that more details will be announced at a later date. It is not clear yet what kind of collaboration it will be, but fans are speculating that it could involve a crossover video, a special event, or even a playable character in Street Fighter 6. Some fans are also hoping that the collaboration will lead to a global release of the Spy x Family movie, as there is no confirmation yet whether the movie will be available outside of Japan.
