Ed joins Street Fighter 6 on February 27th

Capcom is set to expand the roster of Street Fighter 6 with the addition of Ed, the paid DLC character, on February 27. This release date answers the lingering questions fans had about when the character would be joining the legendary fighting game series. Ed will become available to those who have purchased the Year 1 Character Pass, as well as owners of the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions of Street Fighter 6.

Previously, Rashid and A.K.I. were added as part of the Year 1 Character Pass, and Akuma is expected to join in the spring. Alongside the Ed DLC, Capcom has released the 'Ed Arrives Fighting Pass,' which comes with cosmetic items themed after Ed, additional Fighter Coins, and the chance to play the classic side-scrolling beat 'em up 'Captain Commando.' Street Fighter 6 has been praised for its polished presentation, innovative control system, and the most comprehensive single-player experience in series history, making the game highly accessible and enjoyable.

The 'Ed Arrives Fighting Pass' includes cosmetic items related to the character Ed, Fighter Coins, and access to play the retro game 'Captain Commando.'
