Apex × Street Fighter 6 event live: Fighter Form, remixed Olympus, Sep 22–Oct 13 window

Official Apex Legends × Street Fighter 6 event screenshot — Fighter Form combat on remixed Olympus
Electronic Arts / Respawn — Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6 Event

Respawn and EA published the Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6 Event page on 15 September 2026 and set the live window as 22 September through 13 October. Two competition brands share one Arena: Street Fighter 6 kits smash into Apex Wildcard on a remixed Olympus, with Hadokens and Shoryukens across the map and a late-match Showdown that throws the gloves off.

This is an event and systems roundup from EA’s primary page — not a balance pass, and not a claim that Fighter Form shifts the ranked meta.

Select your fighter

Drop into Wildcard, grab Fighter Gear, and channel one of four Street Fighter 6 kits. Each kit packs a Passive, Tactical, and Ultimate:

KitEA’s published fantasy
RyuClose in with fast movement, launch Hadokens at range, finish with a Shin Shoryuken uppercut
Chun-LiWall-run into the fight with faster melee, fire Kikoken projectiles, lock a zone with a charged Kikosho blast
AkumaLaunch Gou Hadoken demon fireballs from range, close distance, finish with a Shun Goku Satsu
DhalsimFloat on low gravity, control space with Yoga Teleport, rain fire with Yoga Sunburst from above

Fighter Form

Collect tokens around the map to fill the Fight Gauge, then activate Fighter Form. The camera switches to third person and the full fighter kit unlocks: new Tactical and Ultimate, stronger melee, Block, extra damage resistance, and bonus speed. Fight Gauge ticks down while Fighter Form is active; landing abilities can refill it. When it empties, the Legend returns to normal.

Showdown

Stay alive long enough to reach Showdown, the explosive final round. Everyone gets an infinite Fight Gauge and can enter Fighter Form at will. Downed or respawning players are thrown straight back into the Arena. EA’s closer: a storm of fireballs and combos until one squad lands the final KO.

Olympus remix

The takeover lands on a Street Fighter 6 remix of Olympus. EA calls out Luke’s Gym and the Fight Night ring to activate Fighter Form, Punch Trucks to smash for Fight Gauge tokens, and decor including giant fighter statues, Street Fighter 6–inspired street art, Blanka-chan balloons, arcade cabinets, and themed signage.

Cosmetics

A Hadoken Mythic Universal Melee ships with a matching Deathbox.

Iconic Legend skins (8): Sparrow as Ryu, Alter as Chun-Li, Bangalore as Elena, Mirage as Luke, Gibraltar as Akuma, Wattson as Cammy, Caustic as Blanka, Pathfinder as Dhalsim.

Legendary weapon skins (8): Street Fighter 6–themed Legendaries for R-99, EVA-8, Flatline, Volt, G7 Scout, Mozambique, Devotion, and Peacekeeper, plus Skydive Emotes, Holosprays, Stickers, Badges, Trackers, and Frames.

Who it hits / what to watch

Wildcard players chasing Fighter Form loops; cosmetics collectors after the Hadoken Mythic and Iconic skins; Twitch/Discord grinders inside the dated windows. Watch for mid-event kit tuning, how often Showdown crowns fights before the circle closes, and any extension after the 13 October end date.
