During the Summer Game Fest 2024, Capcom announced new characters for the second year of Street Fighter 6. The four characters are M. Bison, Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui, and Elena.

M. Bison, a longtime Street Fighter villain, will join in the summer. Terry, a main character from Fatal Fury, will be available in fall 2024. Mai, also from Fatal Fury, will come in the spring of 2025. Elena, who first appeared in Street Fighter III: New Generation, will be available in winter 2025.

M. Bison will arrive sooner than many expected, with his release confirmed for June 26, 2024, just before the big CEO fighting game tournament.

Evo is coming up soon, and with Bison’s summer release date, players will have him for less than a month before the huge fighting game event.

M. Bison gallops into #StreetFighter6 on June 26!

In the game, M. Bison is seen using his Psycho Drive, likely after being revived in a new body. He destroys his surroundings using his Psycho Crusher attack or possibly the Psycho Axe from Street Fighter 5.

We also talk about how Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui might play. This is the first time SNK characters are officially added to the game, as shown in the Season 2 Street Fighter 6 DLC trailer.

Many in the Fighting Game Community have said that characters like C. Viper feel more like SNK characters than typical Capcom ones. Now, with official SNK characters in the mix, it will be interesting to see how they play in this new title.

We also discuss Elena, a character disliked by many due to her ability to heal and use hit-and-run tactics with her long limbs. Hopefully, her healing won’t be linked to the Drive Gauge mechanic. The developers have time to refine her before her release in spring 2025.

Lastly, we look at the new art style in the trailer and wonder if it hints at changes in Street Fighter 6’s graphics or user interface, which have been more realistic this time.

Full Release Schedule for Season 2 Characters

Street Fighter 6 has finished its first set of DLC fighters after Akuma. Now, it’s starting its second set, and some important characters are joining. Capcom announced the next four fighters during their Summer Game Fest presentation. M. Bison, a long-time villain, is coming back after not being in the game at launch.

The announcement came with a cool animated trailer showing the next four characters for season 2. Two of these are crossover characters: Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury.

The other two are long-time Street Fighter characters, M. Bison and Elena. We didn’t see them in action in the game, but each had a few seconds in the trailer.

All four characters will be released over the next year:

  • M. Bison – Summer 2024
  • Terry – Autumn 2024
  • Elena – Spring 2025
  • Mai – Winter 2025

In the first year, Street Fighter 6 added four DLC characters, including Rashid, Ed, and Akuma. A.K.I. was the first original DLC character, and the launch had some strong new characters like Kimberly, Manon, and Marisa.

These new characters could become regulars in the series. So, it’s okay if the game brings back some old characters in the second season. I’m usually not a fan of crossover characters, so I’ll stay quiet about Terry and Mai joining. But I’m sure some players are excited to see them in Street Fighter 6.
