Street Fighter 6 gets movie costumes for Dhalsim, E. Honda and Zangief on October 16

That same date is also the film’s theatrical release, according to IGN. Guile and M. Bison were previously revealed as part of the same campaign.

IGN also says the film versions of the three characters are played by Vidyut Jammwal, Hirooki Goto and Olivier Richters.

What happened

IGN wrote that Capcom is rolling out a set of Street Fighter 6 costumes based on the new Street Fighter movie. During IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition 2026, the site exclusively showed the movie costumes for Dhalsim, E. Honda and Zangief. That means Capcom is once again adding film versions of familiar characters to the promotion around Street Fighter 6.

According to IGN, the film versions of those characters are tied to Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda and Olivier Richters as Zangief. The publication also notes that Guile and M. Bison were revealed earlier as part of the same promotion. That brings the total number of characters linked to the campaign to five, although the supplied material only details the three new outfits.

The only concrete release date in the supplied material is October 16, 2026 for the Zangief code. IGN says that code will be available on all platforms that day, alongside the premiere of the new Street Fighter movie. The source explicitly says the code becomes redeemable on October 16, but gives no further technical details about distribution or how long the promotion will last.

For the Dhalsim and E. Honda costumes, the source does not yet give exact release dates. What is clear is that Capcom is using the movie as a launch point for multiple Street Fighter 6 reveals in October 2026. The supplied material also does not say the three outfits will be released in the same way; only Zangief has a confirmed date.

Background

The campaign centers on film versions of well-known Street Fighter characters and uses them as the basis for extra content in Street Fighter 6. IGN specifically mentions the casting of Vidyut Jammwal, Hirooki Goto and Olivier Richters for the three outfits shown now. The publication places the reveal within IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition 2026, linking the timing of the campaign to a larger media event.

The supplied material does not say that all movie costumes will arrive at once. Instead, the reporting suggests Capcom is staging the reveals in phases, with Zangief as the first confirmed code release on October 16, 2026 and Dhalsim and E. Honda still without confirmed dates. The source also says Guile and M. Bison were shown earlier in the same promotion, indicating the campaign spans multiple characters and is not limited to the three outfits highlighted now.

There is no confirmation in the available information about the pricing structure of the costumes. The supplied material does not say whether the movie costumes are free, distributed via code or included in a paid expansion. It is also not specified whether the Zangief code goes live worldwide at exactly the same time, only that it will be available on all platforms on October 16, 2026.

The film tie-in is clear, though: IGN cites the same date for the theatrical premiere of the new Street Fighter movie. Capcom is using the film release as the anchor for the timing of the game content. No additional release date is given for the other two costumes in the supplied context, making October 16, 2026 the only firm date attached to the promotion.
