Street Fighter 6 confirms release date of A.K.I

Capcom has just announced that the latest competitor for Street Fighter 6, named A.K.I., will be released as DLC on September 27. The new entry in the esteemed series was released in June and quickly secured a place among the best fighting games for the PS5. The game received praise for successfully blending classic style and modern updates, as well as for its excellent selection of characters. However, Capcom has not stopped there and continues to release additional content for the game.

Recently, fans had the opportunity to play as Rashid, a character who was first introduced in the last game. Furthermore, Capcom has confirmed that three more characters are on the way, with A.K.I. being next in line. As a brand-new fighter for the franchise, players got their first glimpse of A.K.I. for Street Fighter 6 this month. After a long wait, players are now finding out when they can get their hands on this fearsome new warrior.

In a tweet from the official game account, Capcom has announced that A.K.I. will be released for Street Fighter 6 on September 27. This was further elaborated in a post on the PlayStation Blog by Capcom's Social Media and Community Manager, Andy Wong, who provided more details about the character. This includes a lot of information about A.K.I.'s fighting style and unique abilities.

A.K.I. is a poison specialist with a snake-themed design, and her style and attacks reflect this. She will have the ability to poison enemies with attacks that gradually inflict damage, making her a good choice for players who want to weaken their opponents over time. This should provide an interesting and challenging strategy that will be enjoyable for fans looking for something new. It likely means that A.K.I. won't be included in the list of top Street Fighter 6 characters for beginners.

When she is released at the end of September, A.K.I. will be immediately available for fans who have purchased the Year 1 Character Pass or the Deluxe or Ultimate editions of the game. For everyone else, she will be offered as a separate DLC for purchase. Additionally, players who are considering acquiring the new fighter can try her out using a rental fighter ticket before deciding to unlock her.

Furthermore, Capcom has announced that in honor of the new character, a new battle pass will be launched on September 1, before the arrival of A.K.I. This pass will offer a variety of cosmetic items, including an outfit that reflects her style. Street Fighter 6 already has many great outfits, and fans who enjoy collecting outfits should take a look at this pass when it is released shortly. Whether they purchase this pass or not, most fans will want to get acquainted with the deadly mistress of poison as she plunges into battle.

Street Fighter 6 is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
