'Brawlhalla' Streetfighter Crossover Event Adds Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma - Screens & Trailer

Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla.

Vikings, pirates, aliens, and more battle in a tourney of champions for bragging rights, mead, and the joy of delivering a beatdown. Players can play classic four player local matches, fight online, or create a custom lobby to challenge friends.

Odin, King of the Gods, built a heaven for warriors and called it Valhalla. On his command, Valkyries, beautiful goddesses of war, scoured the universe for the greatest warriors to fill this hall. To Odin’s surprise, the Valkyries brought back not only vikings, but legendary warriors of every description, and soon pirates, cowboys, Mongol warriors, Amazons, even monsters and aliens roamed the hall.

While waiting for Ragnarok, the warriors become bored. Constant battle spilled out of the Great Hall, and Asgard was smashed to rubble again and again. Odin, pulling his hair out in a last moment of desperation, set up the grand tournament. Now, the best warriors from every time and place fight to become champion, while the Valkyries constantly venture far and wide to bring back warriors who will earn them honor in Brawlhalla.


The answer lies in the heart of battle! Today, Ubisoft, in collaboration with Capcom, announced that world warriors Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma from Capcom’s Street Fighter™are now available in Brawlhallaas Epic Crossovers.

Their arrival hurricane-kicks off an in-game event featuring a new game mode called Street Brawl; players will fight Street Fighter-style with health bars to show who will be the first to fall in the 2-D fighter setting. Plus, a new K.O. Effect featuring the iconic, Street Fighter-inspired K.O. text will be available along with a new Podium and Satsui no Hado Emote, so players can claim that perfect finish. A new 1v1 map based on Suzaku Castle has also been added, as well as four new avatars featuring Zangief, the Shadaloo symbol, a Hadoken, and an animated avatar showing a quarter circle forward punch.

Bask in the glory and adoration of these Street Fighter Crossovers:

  • Ryu –Epic Crossover for Petra – Ryu is always trying to find the next strongest opponent to better himself. Many of his iconic techniques have been brought over to Brawlhalla, like the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, Shoryuken, and Hadoken.
  • Chun-Li –Epic Crossover for Wu Shang – The Strongest Woman in the World is sure to teach her opponents a thing or two about how to take a kick. She brings techniques of her own into Brawlhalla, like the Spinning Bird Kick and Kikosho.
  • Akuma – Epic Crossover for Val – Focused on defeating the gods, the Master of the Fist is ready to make them truly tremble to pieces. He’ll achieve ultimate power with his Tatsumaki Zankukyaku and Zanku Hadoken techniques, among a few others.

All items will still be purchasable and playable after the event ends. The game mode and map will also still be playable after the event ends.

Brawlhalla's straightforward controls make the game easy for new players to pick up, while still having the depth to support a thriving competitive community. With more than 30 distinct warriors to choose from, each with two playstyle-altering weapon types, every victory is a spectacle worthy of the gods.

A variety of online and offline modes offer something for every Legend looking to prove their might in Asgard. Ranked queues, local 1v1 and 2v2, a four-player online free-for-all and online or local free-for-all allow up to eight warriors to take the field at once. Alternate game modes Brawlball, Snowbrawl, Bombsketball and more let the heroes sharpen their skills in new ways.

With a roster of more than 30 Legends, each with distinct two-weapon combinations and fighting styles, every aspiring warrior can find a hero that suits their playstyle.

Grab a horn of mead and prepare to face off against opponents from a different platform in the Grand Tournament of Valhalla.

Brawlhalla is currently available on Android. iOS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|s and PC.
