Street Fighter 6 Aki Release Date
We’re now about three months in from the first Street Fighter 6 release date but content has been coming pretty regularly. There are updates to the store and other areas pretty frequently. However, bigger new fighters are the most exciting additions. The latest is going to be Aki, another fighter making their debut in the Street Fighter franchise.
The Street Fighter 6 Aki release date has been confirmed as September 27th. A new update will be hitting in the later part of 2023. It will include other changes but most importantly the update is set to introduce a brand-new character to the game in Aki.
Aki is a Street Fighter character who is centered around posion and snakes. Her attacks deal damage gradually which is a pretty unique mechanic for SF 6. If she ends up being a higher-tier character in SF 6, we’ll likely see some more strategic plays using her moveset.
The new character will be a part of the Year 1 character pass. Everyone who has already purchased this for Rashid or the deluxe and ultimate editions of the game will get her unlocked. If not, she is also available to purchase separately. Players can also try the new character out using the rental tickets. Perfect if you want to try it out without committing first.
