Street Fighter 6 and Banshee’s Last Cry Announce 30th Anniversary Collaboration, Launching October 2025

Capcom has officially unveiled a new collaboration event between Street Fighter 6 and the cult-classic visual novel Banshee’s Last Cry, set to commemorate the latter’s 30th anniversary.

The event will launch globally on October 15, 2025, and run through April 30, 2026, allowing Nintendo Switch 2 owners and the wider Street Fighter 6 community to participate in a unique crossover experience. Originally developed by Chunsoft and released in 1994, Banshee’s Last Cry is a pioneering visual novel recognized for its atmospheric storytelling and branching narrative.

Marking three decades since its debut, this collaboration integrates the legacy of Banshee’s Last Cry directly into the world of Street Fighter 6, highlighting its enduring impact on gaming culture. As part of this limited-time event, players can access a new scenario within Street Fighter 6’s acclaimed World Tour mode.

By selecting the "Street Fighter’s Last Cry" option on the in-game "One Fateful Day" menu, users are taken on a unique narrative journey inspired by the classic themes of Banshee’s Last Cry.

Importantly, Capcom has ensured that this special scenario remains accessible even after the collaboration period ends, allowing fans to revisit the story at any time. In a statement from Capcom representatives, the company emphasized the importance of honoring genre-defining games, noting their goal is to "offer players memorable ways to explore game history and celebrate foundational titles like Banshee’s Last Cry." This aligns with Capcom’s ongoing tradition of cross-franchise events, exemplified by prior Street Fighter 6 collaborations, such as the recent Monster Hunter Wilds event. Players who log in to Street Fighter 6 during the special promotion window will receive a selection of exclusive in-game items, designed to commemorate the partnership and the anniversary milestone.

Full details, including item specifics and acquisition methods, are available via the official Street Fighter channels and Nintendo eShop event information. Street Fighter 6 continues to build upon its momentum since its release on the Nintendo Switch 2, further solidifying Capcom’s reputation for innovative crossover events.

With Banshee’s Last Cry entering its 30th year, this collaboration not only serves as a nostalgic homage but also introduces a new generation of players to Chunsoft’s acclaimed storytelling legacy.
