A Surprise Announcement for Street Fighter 6
Street Fighter 6 shows no signs of slowing down, revealing its full Year 3 character lineup in a surprise announcement. Over the next year, four new fighters will join the roster, each bringing their own flair and legacy to the battle.
Kicking things off in Summer 2025 is the return of Sagat. He is the towering Muay Thai legend who made his debut as the original Street Fighter’s final boss. His punishing kicks and trademark presence will once again test players’ skill and timing.
C. Viper follows in Autumn 2025, reentering the series with her high-tech battle suit and gadget-filled arsenal from Street Fighter IV. She’s ready to complete her mission, no matter who stands in her way. In Winter 2025, fan favorite Alex leaps into action. Known for his powerful grappling and explosive moves, the pro wrestler will bring his high-impact style back to the ring from Street Fighter V.
Rounding things out in Spring 2026 is Ingrid, a mysterious and powerful figure who hasn’t been seen since Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX. Her graceful energy-based abilities bring a fresh dynamic to the roster. A new trailer featuring pro wrestler Kenny Omega in each character’s outfit is now live, and you can also check it out right below.
Not only that, the Capcom Cup 12 is returning in 2026 at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan sumo arena, offering another massive $1 million grand prize. With the Capcom Pro Tour 2025 underway, the race is on for players looking to qualify.
Street Fighter 6 is also coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title, complete with exclusive modes. Fans can also grab the Years 1 and 2 Fighters Edition, packed with all 26 released fighters and bonus content.
