Street Fighter 6's next playable character Akuma revealed in new trailer

Capcom has shared a first trailer for Street Fighter 6’s next playable fighter, Akuma, who’ll be joining the game’s steadily expanding line-up sometime this “spring”.

Akuma will be Street Fighter 6’s 22nd playable character, following the arrival of Ed last month, and gives the returning fighter – who made his series debut in 1994’s Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo as a hidden boss – a bit of a makeover.

When Akuma joins the Street Fighter 6 line-up this “spring”, he’ll be available in Fighting Ground mode and is also encountered as a master in World Tour mode.
