A.K.I. Arrives

As an understudy of F.A.N.G from Street Fighter V, A.K.I. takes great joy in using her beloved poisonous projectiles and claw attacks to take down her fiercest opponents. Feeling brave? Players can take their chances meeting up with A.K.I. in the single-player World Tour mode to learn more about her interest in the evil Shadaloo organization and apply her deadly moves to their custom avatars for use in both World Tour and Battle Hub modes.

A.K.I. will have Outfit 1, colors 3-10, available at release for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition. Outfit 2 will be available for Ultimate Edition owners or as a separate purchase. Players can also get a taste of her poison for an hour with a Rental Fighter ticket, which can be obtained via a Fighting Pass. Speaking of Fighting Pass, a fright-tastic Halloween Fighting Pass will be available in October! Prepare to scare fellow competitors with special Halloween-themed items and cosmetics, available for a limited time. And quick reminder that the fresh Meiji collaboration is wrapping up next week! Place your vote in-game for your favorite Meiji chocolate snack by Sept. 25 and the winning entry will be sent to all players in the form of a special piece of avatar gear!

October Updates

Two additional Street Fighter 6 updates are coming to players soon:

  • Starting on November 1, a new rank called Legend will be added to ranked matches. Legend is a special rank given to the Top 500 players within the Master League. Anyone achieving Legend rank by the time the Phase is finished will receive a special in-game title.
  • Training Mode is getting new features as well, including more detailed options for Training Mode Shortcut Settings, Reversal Settings, Frame Meter, Recording Settings, and more!
