Yesterday’s Capcom Highlights Day 2 presentation gave us our first look at Akuma before he joins Street Fighter 6 this spring. The Master of Satsui no Hado serves as the game’s final Year 1 DLC fighter.
The film’s trailer shows Akuma’s new appearance, now with white hair, and his apparent mastery of the art of smashing giant statues into rubble. We’ll have to wait to see the gameplay, but this teaser definitely sets the mood for the gloomy warrior.
Akuma joins previous Year 1 characters Rashid, AKI, and Ed, and Capcom plans to detail Year 2 content later this year. In the meantime, be sure to check out our Street Fighter 6 review.
