Elena Arrives In Street Fighter 6 As Final Year 2 DLC Character This June

Game Informer News.

Since its launch, Street Fighter 6 has steadily added new characters across its two years of downloadable content. Though many fan-favorite characters were included in the initial roster, Capcom has dug into its vast library of fighters to further bolster the likes of Ryu, Ken, Guile, and Chun-Li. Late last week, Capcom revealed the final Year 2 character, Elena, will join the fight this June.

As announced nearly a year ago, Street Fighter 6’s Year 2 pass includes M. Bison, Terry, Mai, and Elena. Elena was originally scheduled to arrive this spring, but was hit with a slight delay to her newly announced June 5 release date. M. Bison is known as one of the most iconic characters is all of Street Fighter, while Terry and Mai are guest characters from the Fatal Fury franchise. Elena is a capoeira master from Kenya who made her debut in Street Fighter III: New Generation. Since then, she has appeared in Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken. She was completely absent from Street Fighter V, despite that game receiving five seasons of six downloadable characters.

Alongside Elena’s release, Street Fighter 6 will also release a major balance patch, which will introduce changes for all 25 pre-existing characters, plus some alterations to the broader Street Fighter 6 system. Capcom says it will detail those changes prior to Elena’s June 5 launch. That June 5 date is also when Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Switch 2, and PC. That edition is the first version to arrive on a Nintendo platform, but all versions include each of the 26 characters released in the first two years, as well as a downloadable outfit, additional colors, and 20 stages.
