THE KFC Colonel wasn’t always just a master of blending 11 herbs and spices to perfection.
His other jobs included a steam engine stoker, insurance salesman and a petrol station operator.
But now Sanders has beefed up and found himself a new role in one of the most popular game franchises of all time – Street Fighter.
The classic game’s latest version was launched in June and has already sold a staggering two million copies.
It what is an unlikely combination, KFC Canada quickly jumped on the platform’s ability for users to be able to create their own avatars and the Colonel is publicly available using a special code.
KFC Canada said: “Using the game’s complex editor, the brand and AOR Courage created a fight-ready version of The Colonel, complete with his iconic white hair, black-rimmed glasses and goatee. Dressed in white and larger than life, Chef Colonel Sanders fits right in next to Street Fighter’s roster of characters.
“Right now, every brand wants to get into the world of e-sports. With the introduction of Recipes to Street Fighter 6, we saw an opportunity to connect with gamers organically through our most iconic brand asset – and create a value exchange that’s authentic to the gameplay itself.”
