Street Fighter 6 is heading into Season 3 with a collaboration that fans hadn’t seen coming, but that undoubtedly brings a breath of fresh air to the fighting game universe. Because Street Fighter 6 is collaborating with æspa, the SM Entertainment K-pop group that have four members of different countries: Karina (South Korea), Giselle (Japan), Winter (South Korea), and Ningning (China).
Starting July 4th, we’ll be able to see the collaboration in action. It features, among other things, a new outfit for Juri, color 1-10, which will be available for purchase until Friday, July 3, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. This is Outfit 4 for Juri and is inspired by æspa’s previous work. Although the group recently released the song “Dirty Work,” Juri’s new design is inspired by the group’s previous style. To get Juri’s outfit, you’ll have to pay 350 Fighter Coins. Capcom says the sale period for the outfit can change at any time without prior notice and that, when the time comes, they may put it on sale at a later date if they deem it appropriate. However, if you’re really interested, it’s always best to get it as soon as possible.
Additionally, all players can earn special collaboration photoframes, titles, and backgrounds by simply visiting the aespa x Street Fighter 6 Collaboration News section in-game between Friday, July 4, 2025, 12:00 AM and Monday, August 4, 2025, 7:59 PM PDT. In addition, the Battle Hub will feature aespa-themed decoration, allowing players to experience the group’s legacy. The decoration will be available between Friday, July 4, 2025, 12:00 AM and Monday, August 4, 2025, 7:59 PM PDT.
Another new addition to this collaboration is the introduction of a new commentator. Nævis, a virtual artist closely associated with æspa, joins the real-time cast of voice talent in Korean, English, and Japanese. It’s important to note that this is the first time Street Fighter 6 has added a virtual artist, who will join H.E. Demon Kakka (Japanese), Thea Trinidad (English), and others such as Hikaru Takahashi (Japanese). K-pop fans are familiar with nævis, as she was the first virtual artist created by SM Entertainment. Her original debut came in 2020, when æspa also debuted with her first single. Later, in 2024, nævis released her own single.
And when are new fighters coming to Street Fighter 6? Capcom confirms that the legendary and powerful Sagat will be available on August 5th, arriving alongside the Outfit 4 pack for a total of seven fighters. Players will encounter the fearsome C. Viper in the fall of 2025, and Alex will join the team in early spring of 2026. The fourth fighter of Street Fighter 6 Season 3 will be Ingrid, who will make her appearance in late spring of 2026.
