Mega Man, Final Fight, and now a <strong>Darkstalkers<\/strong>-themed fighting pass is set to come out this October, just in time to celebrate Halloween.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Street Fighter 6 - Darkstalkers Gala Fighting Pass\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJli6EJvgYk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest draw of the Darkstalkers Gala Fighting Pass is werewolf John Talbain\u2019s avatar outfit, which can be obtained by purchasing the premium Fighting Pass for 250 Fighter Coins (roughly 5 USD). Other premium Fighting Pass rewards include a howl avatar emote, a Jedah Dohma photo frame, and Night Warriors: Darkstalkers&#8217; Revenge, the last of which can be played through Street Fighter 6\u2019s Game Center. Darkstalkers-themed stickers, frames, music, and a challenger screen can also be acquired; allowing players to represent Capcom\u2019s darker fighting game franchise. As with all Fighting Passes, the Darkstalkers Gala Fighting Pass will also come with free rewards that all players can obtain just by playing Street Fighter 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-001.jpg\" alt=\"Street Fighter 6 Darkstalkers Gala Fighting Pass Premium Rewards\" class=\"wp-image-37749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For those too young to remember, Darkstalkers is a fighting game franchise set in a gothic universe. Players choose from different fighters, many of which are based on folklore. Characters like the werecat Felicia, the mummy Anakaris, and the succubus Morrigan were introduced over Darkstalkers\u2019 30-year history, with more fighters being added in subsquent titles. Sadly, the last true Darkstalkers game was 1999\u2019s Darkstalkers 3. <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20220221-9788\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There have been various collections, remasters, and nods to Darkstalkers in other Capcom games<\/a>, but never a new, full-blown release.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-header2.jpeg\" alt=\"Darkstalkers cosmetics\" class=\"wp-image-37748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-header2.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-header2-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241001-37742-header2-768x432.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, the interest generated by the Darkstalkers Gala Fighting Pass will show Capcom that there are still a lot of people who are waiting for the Darkstalkers franchise to be revived. Many game mechanics introduced in Darkstalkers helped shape other Capcom titles and the fighting game genre, so it would be a waste for it to continue gathering dust in Capcom&#8217;s vault.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for Halloween, Street Fighter 6 will get a Darkstalkers Fighting Pass celebrating Capcom&#8217;s forgotten, gothic franchise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":37747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-37742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
