Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 6 will be adding its final Year 1 character, Akuma, in Spring 2024.
Akuma originally appeared in Street Fighter II Turbo as a hidden combatant and boss, and in Street Fighter lore is the younger brother of Ken and Ryu’s master, Gouken. He also has an alter-ego known as Shin Akuma, and has appeared in numerous other fighting games, including a guest role in Tekken 7 where he was a crucial part in the game’s story.
Messatsu! The legendary Akuma will consume all hope, fear, and nothingness when he comes to Street Fighter 6 this spring. Find him in the new World Tour area, Gokuento, where you may ask him to be your Master…if you dare.
