Nakayama and producer Shuhei Matsumoto discussed the upcoming Virtua Fighter: Crossroads title from Sega. Both developers expressed genuine excitement about the new fighting game announcement. The comments highlight ongoing cross-franchise interest within the genre.
Street Fighter 6 previously partnered with Baki for in-game cosmetics during 2023 and 2024. Nakayama noted that another collaboration remains possible but unconfirmed. He described the idea as cool without committing to a specific timeline or project details.
The next DLC character for Street Fighter 6, Yasmine, is scheduled for release in Summer 2026. This follows the existing Season 3 and Season 4 DLC roadmap. The developer commentary centers on gameplay balance rather than immediate content updates.
