Brief mention for Elena as well
In celebration of the end of 2024 and the start of 2025, Capcom has released some new artwork featuring SNK’s Mai Shiranui. Notably, the fighter is slated to be released as the next DLC character in Street Fighter 6.
Near the end of the last teaser trailer, it was declared that Mai Shiranui would be released in Winter 2025 (around January, February, or March). This artwork is intended to provide yet another teaser at her eventual arrival.
In the Tweet, Capcom also made a brief mention of Elena, another character set to be released in Season 2 of Street Fighter 6. She’ll become available at some point in Spring 2025.
“Happy New Year!” said Capcom in their Tweet according to Google Translate. “This year, in addition to Mai and Elena’s participation in Street Fighter 6, we will also be bringing you lots of exciting events such as Capcom Cup 11 and Street Fighter League.”
Though we’ve yet to see any actual gameplay for Mai in Street Fighter 6, the trailer gave the impression that she’ll be sporting a lot of the moves that we’ve come to expect from the character based on playing her from other games. Just like Terry Bogard, Capcom is seemingly going all out with the references.
Here’s hoping that Mai and Elena can bring some interesting developments for Street Fighter 6. Shortly after they’re both released, we should also hear about Season 3 news in 2025.
