Exciting Updates: Street Fighter 6’s Year 3 DLC Roster Announced

Capcom has officially revealed the lineup of downloadable content (DLC) characters scheduled for Year 3 in the popular fighting game Street Fighter 6. Fans can look forward to a steady stream of new fighters adding depth and excitement to the game’s roster over the coming months.

New Fighters Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025

During the highly anticipated Summer Game Fest 2025 presentation, Capcom introduced four new DLC characters set to join the fight. The announcements included exclusive gameplay footage, character artwork, and a fun promotional trailer featuring professional wrestler Kenny Omega, who humorously dressed up as each upcoming fighter.

The release schedule for these characters is as follows:

• Sagat – Available Summer 2025
• C. Viper – Releasing in Fall 2025
• Alex – Expected in Early Spring 2026
• Ingrid – Launching in Late Spring 2026

Highlights from the Trailer and Character Designs

The trailer showcased dynamic artwork and snippets of gameplay for each character. Fans got a glimpse of Sagat, the legendary Street Fighter villain, executing some of his iconic moves such as the Tiger Shot, Tiger Uppercut, and Tiger Knee against Ryu. The trailer also teased a new twist on his classic Thailand stage from Street Fighter 2, adding fresh visual elements to the fight.

Ingrid is a surprise addition to Street Fighter 6’s Year 3 roster. Her inclusion has sparked curiosity among fans, as she first appeared in 2004’s Capcom Fighting Evolution and later in the 2006 PSP game Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX.

Background on the Newcomers

While fans are familiar with characters like Alex, C. Viper, and Sagat, Ingrid remains relatively obscure. Her debut was in the 2004 crossover game Capcom Fighting Evolution, and she later appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX on PlayStation Portable. Her addition to the roster hints at Capcom’s effort to diversify the character lineup with both beloved veterans and intriguing newcomers.

Additional Details and Future Expectations

With each new fighter, Capcom continues to expand the strategic possibilities and excitement of Street Fighter 6. Fans can anticipate more updates, balanced tweaks, and perhaps even more surprises as the game’s third year unfolds. The ongoing support underscores Capcom’s commitment to keeping Street Fighter 6 fresh and engaging for competitive players and casual fans alike.
