Street Fighter 6 movie costumes: Dhalsim, E. Honda and Zangief revealed

According to IGN, the Zangief code will be available on all platforms from October 16. That same day, the Street Fighter movie opens in theaters.

IGN links the promotion to IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition 2026 and describes the reveals as part of a broader campaign rolling out in multiple stages.

What happened

IGN says Capcom is rolling out a series of Street Fighter 6 costumes tied to the new Street Fighter movie. It is a promotional tie-in, with the reveals spread across an online scavenger hunt and several moments in October. In IGN’s coverage, the campaign is explicitly framed as a movie promotion for Street Fighter 6, not just a standalone cosmetic drop without further context.

During IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition 2026, IGN exclusively showed costumes for Dhalsim, E. Honda and Zangief. In the same coverage, IGN also notes that Guile and M. Bison were revealed earlier and that more costumes will follow later in the month. That makes it clear the campaign is not being completed all at once, but presented in phases. The available information names several characters, but does not yet provide a full overview of all remaining costumes.

The film casting mentioned by IGN links Vidyut Jammwal to Dhalsim, Hirooki Goto to E. Honda and Olivier Richters to Zangief. That makes the tie-in concrete: the game costumes match the characters and actors from the new film. Of the new codes, only Zangief’s has a specific date. IGN says that code goes live on October 16 and will be available on all platforms. That is also the movie’s theatrical release date, bringing the game and film together in the promotion.

For Dhalsim and E. Honda, the provided material does not yet include exact redemption dates. The precise order of the remaining reveals later in the month is also not fully known yet. What is clear is that the campaign includes multiple characters and that Capcom is using the film release to spotlight extra Street Fighter 6 content.

Background

Street Fighter 6 often gets extra content through collaborations, and this promotion ties directly into the new Street Fighter movie. According to IGN, the costumes are not being released all at once, but step by step through a campaign with multiple reveals. That means the current information is only a snapshot, with three explicitly named characters and two already revealed names.

In the current coverage, Guile and M. Bison are also mentioned as part of the same film campaign alongside Dhalsim, E. Honda and Zangief. For Dhalsim and E. Honda, the provided material still does not confirm exact redemption dates. Only Zangief has concrete timing so far: October 16, on all platforms. That makes Zangief the only character whose costume tie-in and availability date are fully locked in by the source.

The casting information further clarifies the film connection. Vidyut Jammwal is linked to Dhalsim, Hirooki Goto to E. Honda and Olivier Richters to Zangief. IGN also says the reveals are part of an online scavenger hunt, suggesting the campaign is being spread across multiple moments and possibly multiple channels. The source also explicitly says more costumes will follow later in the month, but without naming all of them or giving all dates yet.

The combination of a game update and a theatrical release on October 16 is the main concrete anchor in the coverage. Capcom is using the film not only as a marketing moment, but also as a reason to connect Street Fighter 6 content to the characters from the new production. For the rest of the month, the campaign remains partly open, since the source does not yet provide a complete list of all remaining codes or release times.
