Capcom surprised fans at Summer Game Fest by announcing a second year of content for Street Fighter 6. This collaboration with SNK introduces iconic characters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui, alongside M. Bison and Elena. With Bison and Terry already available, the focus shifts to Mai's imminent release.
The latest trailer provides an in-depth look at Mai Shiranui, featuring her classic Fatal Fury costume and a new City of the Wolves attire.

Street Fighter 6 Mai Shiranui Launch Date
- February 5th
Capcom offers a glimpse into Mai's story within Street Fighter 6. Unlike Terry's quest for challenging opponents, Mai's journey centers on finding Andy Bogard in Metro City. This pursuit leads to clashes with characters like Juri, testing her skills.
The extended period between DLC releases has caused frustration among fans due to a perceived lack of communication from Capcom regarding major updates and the game's battle pass system. The recent Boot Camp Bonanza battle pass offered customization items, but the absence of character skins (in favor of avatar items) has drawn criticism. Fans continue to express disappointment over the limited availability of new character skins, a feature frequently included in Street Fighter 5.
