Street Fighter 6 DLC guide: New characters and when they are being added – Dexerto

Street Fighter 6, the brand new heavy hitter by CAPCOM, is confirmed to have a DLC similar to every other fighting game in the market. As it happens, the developers have provided confirmation on the characters who will be featured in the DLC.

A bunch of DLC for Street Fighter 6 will be released over the entirety of Year 1. This means that instead of releasing all 4 characters simultaneously, you will receive them one by one at specific moments.

Year 1 of Street Fighter 6 will begin as soon as the game releases on June 2, 2023. This will continue all the way until next year when the picture for Year 2 will start to become a whole lot clearer.
