Following the title's five million global sales milestone and its launch on the Switch 2, Capcom revealed the crossover event featuring Aespa will include a new outfit for Juri, a Battle Hub takeover, and a fresh voice addition.
The event introduces a limited-time Outfit 4 for Juri, inspired by Aespa's style. Available for one year, the design is part of a broader summer content rollout that includes swimwear outfits for seven other characters and the return of fan-favourite Sagat, whose Fighting Pass drops the same week.
Fans will also experience a reimagined Battle Hub, fully decorated with Aespa visuals. By logging in during the event, players can unlock themed in-game rewards, including device wallpapers, custom titles, and Aespa-branded photo frames.
Adding to the immersive experience, Naevi, Aespa's virtual idol, will join the game as a real-time commentator. This addition reflects Capcom's ongoing strategy of merging global pop culture with Street Fighter 6's evolving gameplay features.
The crossover continues a growing trend of K-pop and gaming collaborations, placing Aespa alongside other groups such as BTS, Le Sserafim and TWICE. Street Fighter 6's Aespa event will be available across all platforms from July 4, 2025.
