WhileStreet Fighteris one of Capcom’s most popular franchises, it’s no different withDarkstalkers. The series debuted in the mid-1990s and became a hit by presenting a fighting game whose cast is made up of werewolves and vampires. This roster produced some characters that would eventually become audience favorites, such as Felicia and Morrigan, both fighters becoming recurring names in theMarvel Vs. Capcomgames. With five games, ports, and adaptations for other media,Darkstalkersremains a franchise that fans hold dear.
Now,Darkstalkersis making a comeback as part of the new crossover withStreet Fighter 6. Available until October 22, players can purchase the Darkstalkers Fighting Gala Pass for 250 Fighting Coins ($5 USD) in the in-game store, and unlock 30 levels of rewards by accumulating Kudos by completing weekly challenges. Some of the rewards include gear that will transform players' avatar into thewerewolf Jon Talbain. The son of a human mother and a werewolf father, Talbain is one of the fighters featured in the firstDarkstalkersand has appeared in almost every game in the series.

Street Fighter 6players can unlock rewards from theDarkstalkerspass in both the paid and free tracks, with the paid track having items such as a photo frame, challenger screen, titles, and music. This is yet another collaboration for the fighting game’s roster through the Fighting Pass, a pass that brings cosmetics with a different theme every month.
