Capcom has some amazing and exciting news for all our Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts, as they've just unveiled the much-awaited DLC fighter named A.K.I., all ready and set to arrive on September 27.
This fresh addition to the mentioned series made its debut in June and swiftly secured its very own place among the premier fighting games for the PS5. The game has stolen a lot of hearts for wonderfully blending classic aesthetics with contemporary ones, all topped off by a diverse roster of characters. However, Capcom's commitment to expanding the game's content doesn't just stop there!
Certain changes and developments have allowed fans to take up the role of the mantle of Rashid, a character introduced at the start of the game. Moreover, Capcom has also confirmed the expected arrival of three new characters, with A.K.I. being the next in line (finally, right guys?). This new fighter marks an exciting introduction to the franchise, with gamers catching their first look of A.K.I. for Street Fighter 6 earlier this month.
After much anticipation, players now have the important information about when they can get their hands on the killer abilities of this amazing new combatant.
A.K.I., the crispy new addition to Street Fighter 6's roster, brings a unique poison-centric batch of abilities, rounded off by her snake-themed style and attacks. Her combat strategy basically involves gradually poisoning her enemies with damaging attacks, becoming an ally to players who enjoy a tactical approach of wearing down opponents over time. This detailed and engaging gameplay dynamic promises fun and complexity, ensuring a captivating experience for those seeking a fresh challenge. However, A.K.I.'s poisonous approach might not be the most suitable for beginners aiming to excel in the game.
Upon her debut at the close of September, A.K.I. will be accessible to players who purchased the Year 1 Character Pass, the Deluxe, or Ultimate editions of the game. For those gamers who don’t own any of these editions, she can be taken separately as downloadable content. Additionally, many gamers who are contemplating adding A.K.I. to their roster will have the opportunity to `test her capabilities via a Rental Fighter Ticket before committing to unlocking her.
In celebration of the new character's arrival, Capcom is introducing a new fighting pass on September 1, ahead of A.K.I.'s official release. This pass will include an array of cosmetic items, including an outfit that is tailor MADE for her distinctive style. Street Fighter 6 already boasts an array of impressive outfits, making this pass a must-see for enthusiasts’ keen on expanding their collection. Regardless of whether players opt for the pass, the arrival of A.K.I., the proficient poison wielder, is an event that is sure to captivate fans and draw them into the thrilling world of the game's evolving combat landscape.
