Street Fighter 6's Ghosts 'n Goblins Gala Fighting Pass has arrived, bringing a delightful slice of retro gaming magic to Capcom's modern fighting masterpiece.

This Halloween-themed collaboration delivers premium rewards including EX colours for Blanka and A.K.I., alongside new challenger screen illustrations, avatar gear, and perhaps most excitingly, the classic game Ghouls 'n Ghosts itself. The crossover represents a perfect marriage of Capcom's past and present, blending the publisher's iconic franchises in ways that will delight long-time fans.

Capcom's official announcement captures the spirit perfectly: "The Ghosts 'n Goblins Gala Fighting Pass is here, so take a key and come on in! Challenge opponents again and again to earn Premium Rewards like EX colours for A.K.I. and Blanka. Go ahead dauntlessly and unlock new Challenger Screen illustrations, Arthur's armour for your avatar, and more!" This isn't the first unexpected collaboration for Street Fighter 6 either; the fighting game recently teamed up with McDonald's to offer special colours for character outfits, demonstrating Capcom's creative approach to post-launch content.

The inclusion of Ghouls 'n Ghosts represents particularly smart fan service, giving players access to one of Capcom's most challenging and beloved arcade classics from 1988. Originally released for the CPS-1 arcade system before appearing on home consoles including the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo, the game's punishing difficulty and distinctive medieval horror aesthetic made it an instant classic.

For retro gaming enthusiasts, this crossover demonstrates how classic franchises can find new relevance through thoughtful integration with modern titles. The pass offers both cosmetic upgrades and genuine gameplay value through its inclusion of a complete classic game. Consequently, Street Fighter 6 continues to build upon its strong foundation with content that respects Capcom's rich history while pushing the fighting genre forward. This approach shows how retro gaming elements can enhance contemporary experiences when handled with care and genuine appreciation for the source material.
