Elden Ring was one of the largest games of 2022. It sold very well and earned critical praise from pretty much every direction. The game also slowly climbed the ladder to become the title with the most GOTY awards ever, even surpassing The Last of Us Part 2.
Street Fighter 6 is yet another game with a massive fanbase and on a path to becoming a success. It might not win a GOTY, but it has already earned praise from pretty much all directions. And now fans have noticed some very exciting connections between these two very different games.

When marketing a game, companies generally have their messages limited to the game they want people to know about. Years ago, some developers and console makers used to mock their rivals by mentioning their games and showing them down. That attitude has changed, but it appears Capcom wants to bring that tradition back but in a positive way.
Capcom’s official account posted an ad on Reddit mentioning that this game has finally launched, but instead of using a hashtag related to Street Fighter 6 itself, they used #EldenRing.
Street fighter and Elden Ring advertising mistake?

This has fans talking all over the internet. Some are expecting this thing to be a hint at a crossover, while others are expecting it to be just a mistake.
The excited fans have now started expecting an upcoming revelation where they will see some Elden Ring characters appear as playable fighters in Street Fighter 6. Others are even expecting something similar to show up in the Elden Ring itself. And the rest are just thinking that it’s just a troll thing or maybe advertisers’ way to make sure this ad reaches as many people as possible. Maybe they found the Elden Ring hashtag to be more popular than the Street Fighter one.

Anything is a possibility. On one hand, Capcom is known for partnering up with other developers for small crossovers, on the other, Elden Ring developer FromSoftware is known for keeping their games separate from any other game out there.
