Street Fighter 6 release date, World Tour Mode and new fighters revealed!

We’ve known for some time that Street Fighter 6 would be coming, but now Capcom have seen fit to deliver not just a fully confirmed release date, but details in regards the World Tour Mode and character roster. 

Due to drop on Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, Capcom have confirmed that Street Fighter 6 will release on June 2nd 2023. 

It’ll be available in three different editions – Standard (Physical/Digital), Deluxe and Ultimate (Digital only for those two), with your purchasing decision dictated by how deep you want to indulge into the fight. 

• Standard Edition (Physical/Digital) – Includes the base game of Fighting Ground, World Tour, Battle Hub, and the 18-character launch roster
• Deluxe Edition (Digital) – Includes the base game and the Year 1 Character Pass (containing four characters), colors 3-10 for each of those Year 1 characters’ Outfit 1, and a bonus of 4,200 Drive Tickets for in-game purchases, all discounted from separate full game and Year 1 Character Pass purchases
• Ultimate Edition (Digital) – Includes the base game and the Year 1 Ultimate Pass, which contains content from the Year 1 Character Pass, two additional costumes and their alternate colors for the four Year 1 characters, two more stages, and a bonus of 7,700 Drive Tickets

Further to that is news in regards the all-new World Tour mode. It’s in here where Street Fighter 6 players will get the chance to wander the Jamaican beaches, to take in the French festivals and to work the arenas of Italy, learning Special Master Moves in the process. 

You’ll be able to combine these too, meaning that your avatar can throw out a Hadoken or Sonic Boom, perform a Spinning Bird Kick, and execute a Yoga Flame, all in the same match as long as they’re using different inputs.

There’s also the Master Assist to take in too, letting you fight alongside a Master like Ryu, calling on their help should you require it. 

And then to round things off, Street Fighter 6 is fully complete with a ton of minigames – karate-chopping bottles, enjoying Italian cuisine, parrying basketballs, and more. Minigames are playable in between matches in the form of part-time jobs where you can earn World Tour mode currency to purchase in-game clothing, food, and more.

But Street Fighter 6 wouldn’t be a Street Fighter game without a decent character roster and this one looks to bring in a few newcomers as well as a returning legend. Expect to see the following pulling the punches…

• Dee Jay – First appearing in Super Street Fighter II, Dee Jay is a globally popular dance music superstar with a burning love for music and fighting. As a returning character in the series, Dee Jay retains his trademark moves that will get you in the rhythm such as Air Slasher, Double Rolling Sobat, Machine Gun Upper, and Jackknife Maximum, while adding new moves like Jus Cool and Weekend Pleasure to his arsenal. Visit Bathers Beach, Dee Jay’s stage in Street Fighter 6, to find a beachside party full of life amidst a setting sun.
• Manon – A supermodel and world champion judoka, Manon struts the catwalk of street fighting to become the world’s strongest model. Manon’s move set is a graceful union between judo grappling and classical ballet with moves like the Manège Doré, Renversé, Pas de Deux, and more. Find her in the Fete Foraine stage in France, a dazzling carnival amidst the French skyline.
• Marisa – Marisa is an up-and-coming jewelry designer from Italy who claims ancestry to ancient Greek warriors. A powerhouse of a character, Marisa utilizes her long limbs to unleash slow yet gargantuan strikes like the devastating Gladius, defensive counter Scutum, powerful Quadriga kick, and the almighty Goddess of the Hunt. Bask in the scent of victory in Colosseo, Marisa’s stage, with battle-ready warriors in the background cheering you on.
• JP – JP is the head of an international nonprofit organization responsible for many successful investment projects, and the man behind Nayshall’s present prosperity. He has a beloved cat named Cybele. JP takes control of the entire map from all angles with moves like the powerful void-creating Departure, the clone-deploying Torbalan, the Embrace grab, and the destructive Interdiction.

We’ll keep you in the loop with regards further Street Fighter 6 news ahead of that Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC release on June 2nd 2023.
