Street Fighter 6 Characters Join the UniVersus Card Game with New Challenger Series

In an exciting announcement for fans of both card games and the iconic Street Fighter franchise, Capcom has teamed up with UVS Games to introduce a brand-new set of cards, the Street Fighter 6 Challenger Series, set to launch this July. This new collection features beloved characters from the latest installment of the Street Fighter series, promising to bring dynamic gameplay and strategic depth to the tabletop experience.
Scheduled for release on July 18, 2025, the Challenger Series will include two unique decks, each built around four iconic characters: Ryu, Luke, Chun-Li, and Jamie. Both decks are designed to be player-friendly, containing 60 cards each and accompanied by a collector booster pack that includes six random alternate-art or all-foil cards. This addition is sure to excite collectors and players alike, although details regarding pricing have yet to be announced.
The legendary Street Fighter franchise makes a remarkable return to UniVersus in what marks the game’s 11th update. Players will have the opportunity to choose from a mixture of classic characters and fresh faces, allowing them to experience the game in new and diverse ways. This installment features two legendary mainstays from the series alongside two newcomers. The first deck highlights Ryu, the wandering world warrior who is a master of the Ansatsuken fighting style, alongside Luke Sullivan, a skilled combat trainer working for Metro City's prestigious Buckler Security Services.
Meanwhile, the second deck showcases the strongest woman in the world, Chun-Li, who has stepped away from her role at Interpol to dedicate her time to training students in kung-fu. Alongside her is Jamie Siu, a master of Drunken Boxing known for his acrobatic breakdancing-inspired fighting style. This unique blend of seasoned veterans and up-and-coming fighters challenges players to choose their fighters wisely—will you fine-tune your skills with Ryu and Luke, or opt for the flashy techniques of Chun-Li and Jamie?
UniVersus is renowned for its engaging gameplay, which balances simplicity with depth, making it a captivating experience for both newcomers and veteran players. Its mechanics allow for intricate interactions and strategic play, making it stand out among card games. The game allows players to collect and battle with their favorite characters from a variety of beloved franchises, ranging from classics like Cowboy Bebop to contemporary hits such as My Hero Academia. As the community grows, so does the excitement for what this new Challenger Series will bring.
