Capcom revealed the Akuma DLC release date with a new gameplay trailer on Monday. His abilities in Street Fighter 6 include:

  • Gou Hadoken: a fireball that can be charged up to blast a “red fireball” that gives him more options on hit or block.
  • Ashura Senku: Akuma glides on the battlefield, cloaked in shadows.
  • Adamant Flame: a new move where he performs a forward thrust engulfed in flames.
  • Messatsu Gohado: Akuma’s Level 1 Super Art, where he fires a highly concentrated ball of Satsui no Hado.
  • Empyrean’s End: Akuma’s Level 2 Super Art, where he turns the Satsui no Hado into a powerful flame and ignites it within the opponent.
  • Sip of Calamity: a Level 3 Super Art, where he throws opponents on the ground face-first and follows up with a single devastating blow.
  • Shun Goku Satsu or “Raging Demon:” A Level 3 Super Art Akuma can perform when his Vitality is low enough for a Critical Art. It can be used to end combos.

In addition to showing off his moves, the trailer offered a look at the new Enma’s Hollow stage. The hellish battleground releases alongside Akuma as part of Street Fighter 6’s Year 1 Ultimate Pass. Meanwhile, Akuma is part of the Year 1 Ultimate and Character Passes. Players can purchase the passes separately or included in Street Fighter 6’s Deluxe and Ultimate Editions.

The new update adds a third outfit for all Year 1 characters, including Akuma. Finally, Capcom is working on balance changes for all Street Fighter 6 characters.
