Street Fighter 6 Akuma Gameplay Showcases the Demon’s Powers, Character and Major Balance Update Available May 22

While Capcom has already announced two months ago that Akuma will be joining the Street Fighter 6 roster this spring, with the new season looming, the company has today pushed out our first actual look at Street Fighter 6 Akuma gameplay!

Watch over three minutes of mayhem where we see Akuma’s special moves and some brutal combos in action. And of course, the Akuma beatdown wouldn’t be complete without a Raging Demon super move!

For those who own the Deluxe or Ultimate editions or the Year 1 Character Pass and Ultimate Pass for Street Fighter 6, expect to be able to play as Akuma when the character is made available on May 22. Year 1 Ultimate Pass owners will also receive the new stage Emma’s Hollow as part of the package.

Alongside Akuma, there will be a title update out on May 22 that will focus on major rebalancing on all characters. Once the patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know about it. Expect a server update to be triggered before the patch is released.
