Street Fighter 6 Reveals Release Date for Alternate Costumes

Capcom gave fans an update regarding the third set of outfits for Street Fighter 6‘s base roster, confirming its release date for the beginning of December. Launching back in June, Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 launched to critical acclaim, becoming one of the most popular fighting games of 2023. Capcom has been doing a lot to support Street Fighter 6 ever since its launch, such as its first season pass, which adds four additional DLC characters, including fan favorites like Rashid and Akuma.

Currently, Street Fighter 6‘s has one alternate costume for all eighteen characters in the base roster, players being able to choose between alternate color palettes. The veterans like Ryu, Cammy, and Juri all have outfits that call back to their classic counterparts, like Cammy wearing her old Street Fighter 2 gear. New characters like Jamie and Manon wear outfits that are more suitable to their personalities. Fans will be able to try a set of new outfits next month for all members of the base roster.

When does Street Fighter 6 get Outfit 3?

In a new Street Fighter 6 trailer, Capcom announced these outfits will be available for all eighteen characters on December 1, 2023. This video showcased all the characters’ new outfits, some looking quite stylish or taking inspiration from Street Fighter‘s history. For example, Luke gets his outfit from when he made his rookie debut in Street Fighter 5, while Cammy wears a red coat that was similar to one she wore in the Street Fighter 2 animated movie. Other stylish outfits include Marisa’s wedding dress and Ryu’s casual gear from Street Fighter 6‘s arcade mode endings.

A Capcom blog post about Street Fighter 6 states that the design team were “blown away” by the positive reaction that the costumes received when they were first shown at EVO 2023. This blog post also went into detail regarding each individual design, providing commentary on what went into each outfit’s appearance and a bit of insight into the characters. For example, Juri’s onesie was based on what she would look like if she was lounging at home, which is reflected by her devil-like hair horns being mussed while she sleeps.

Capcom also stated that the game’s first year DLC characters, Rashid, Ed, A.K.I., and Akuma would also get a set of alternate costumes as well. Fans shouldn’t expect a third costume for these four characters until Spring 2024, as they will be included around the same time Akuma is added to the game. In the meantime, fans can look forward to Ed’s inclusion in Street Fighter 6, with this third DLC character being scheduled to be added in Winter 2024.
