Street Fighter 6 officially confirms its 18-character launch roster

(Just try and look surprised)

Capcom has officially confirmed the 18-character launch roster of its upcoming sequel Street Fighter 6 — as revealed by the leak earlier this year, the launch roster is a mix of classic, modern, and brand new World Warriors, pulled from the history of the Street Fighter franchise as well as its future.

Your Street Fighter 6 launch roster is as follows: Luke, Jamie, Manon, Kimberly, Marisa, Lily, JP, Juri, Dee Jay, Cammy, Ryu, E. Honda, Blanka, Guile, Ken, Chun-Li, Zangief, and last, but by no means least, Dhalsim. Of no surprise to anybody, Capcom also confirmed post-release DLC for the new sequel. Missing from this list, but included in the leak, are Ed, Akuma, AKI, and Rashid.

Street Fighter 6 launches in 2023 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms. You can sign up for October’s Closed Beta right here.
