Elena Joins the Street Fighter 6 Roster with a Stunning Redesign on June 5th

Capcom has released a new trailer highlighting the final DLC character from the Year 2 pass for Street Fighter 6. The newcomer is Elena, a capoeira master hailing from Kenya.

Players who own the Ultimate Pass and Year 2 Character Pass will automatically unlock Elena on her release day. Additionally, she will be available for purchase with in-game currency.

Fans have expressed their excitement over the character’s redesign. «Finally, my girl is wearing pants!!!» — commented a user on ResetEra. It’s worth noting that Elena first appeared in Street Fighter III: New Generation, where she was only seen in a white swimsuit. Other gamers voiced concerns that her healing ability should not be overly powerful, as it could lead to spam during competitive tournaments, reminiscent of the issues faced in Street Fighter IV.

Elena will join the roster of Street Fighter 6 on June 5th. On the same day, the fighting game will be available for Nintendo Switch 2, alongside the release of the Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition. This edition will compile all characters and arenas introduced throughout the game’s lifecycle, and will be available on PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series, and the aforementioned Switch 2.
