Two weeks ago Capcom released Ed, the third DLC character of the first year of Street Fighter 6. Now, as many thought, Capcom finally presented with a new trailer what Akuma will look like in Street Fighter 6.
When will Akuma, the last character of the first year of Street Fighter 6 (SF6)?
According to the new trailer and the information shared by Capcom in the presentation, Akuma (Gouki) will be available sometime in spring 2024. That is to say that between mid-March and mid-May the last DLC character of the first year of Street Fighter 6 (SF6). If we follow the same pattern we saw in Ed’s release, it is possible that Akuma will take a month and a half to join the game. Thus, from now on many think that Capcom will present the release date and gameplay trailer for Akuma during EVO Japan 2024.
As for the character design, thanks to the trailer we have seen that Akuma retains his characteristic rope gloves, as well as the huge prayer beads, but it seems that this time he will not be wearing any type of footwear.
Additionally, the scenario in which Akuma (Gouki) appears in his presentation trailer is the same as the one the character had in the game. Street Fighter: Alpha 2. Of course, it now has some updates and modifications made by the same master of Satsu no Hadou.
Finally, it should be noted that the appearance of Akuma (Gouki) in Street Fighter 6 (SF6) is more aggressive than in the previous installment. However, we will just have to wait until Capcom shares the gameplay trailer to find out if this time Akuma (Gouki) will be faster, slower or if he will have new moves in Street Fighter 6 (SF6).
Now that we know when Akuma will be released or available, the last character of the first year of Street Fighter 6 (SF6). Tell us what his expectations are for this character.
