Capcom's Street Fighter 6 will soon get a little K-pop infusion courtesy of the group aespa. This collaboration will add in a new outfit for Juri, a new real-time color commentator, and several additional collaboration items.
In addition, Capcom will decorate the Battle Hub so that players can "experience aespa's legacy for a limited time between Friday, July 4, 2025 12:00 am - Monday, August 4, 2025 7:59 pm PDT." Players that log in during this time will get a free "aeconic" collaboration item.
The new Juri outfit will be a paid cosmetic. It's aespa themed and "inspired by aespa's concepts and motifs from their past album." It will cost you 350 Fighter Coins and can only be purchased from July 4, 2025 through to July 3, 2026. So don't wait, you know, a year to buy it.
The new commentator is naevis. Apparently naevis is a virtual artist. I assume aespa fans are already aware of this fact.
A trailer for this collab came out today that features the song "Whiplash" from aespa.
The Street Fighter 6 and æspa collaboration content includes:
Looking ahead, Street Fighter 6 Year 3 characters are joining the roster soon with Sagat coming August 5, followed by C. Viper (Autumn 2025), Alex (Early Spring 2026) and Ingrid (Late Spring 2026), with Outfit 4 for seven characters releasing alongside Sagat on August 5! Stay tuned for more news and updates on Street Fighter 6 coming soon!
