During the 2024 Summer Game Fest, Capcom revealed the Year 2 roster for Street Fighter 6. The second season will kick off with another highly anticipated character, the iconic villain M. Bison, during summer 2024. He will be followed by Terry in fall 2024. Another fan favorite, Mai, joins in winter 2024, and the final character, Elena, will be added in spring 2025. Fighting game fans will recognize that Terry and Mai are guest characters from the Fatal Fury series, and both should fit in well with Street Fighter 6’s style. This announcement comes just weeks after the final Year 1 character, Akuma, was added to Street Fighter 6. Akuma was joined by Rashid, A.K.I., and Ed in the first season.
In our Street Fighter 6 review, we said Street Fighter 6 is to the Street Fighter series as Monster Hunter World was to the Monster Hunter series, in that it has significantly lowered the barrier to entry without ruining the core gameplay experience.
