Dust off that fight stick – Akuma has just been revealed in a lush new cinematic Street Fighter 6v trailer. He’ll still be coming to the fighting game in Spring 2024 as was established in the past, though no exact release date has been given at time of writing.
This style of reveal trailer is the standard when it comes to Street Fighter 6’s DLC cast, however unlike the other post-launch fighters like Ed or AKI, Akuma gets the limelight.
Capcom has also released some more info about Akuma’s new design on Twitter. Written by game director Takayuki Nakayama, it states, “Akuma now has a more striking presence complete with gray hair. We also used Buddha statues and animals as references for his musculature in an attempt to give the character a more memorable aesthetic.”
