Capcom has officially announced that Elena, the beloved Kenyan fighter known for her capoeira-inspired moves, will join the Street Fighter 6 roster on June 5, 2025. This release coincides with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game and the new 1-2 Fighters Edition, which bundles all Year 1 and Year 2 characters.
Elena's return marks the conclusion of Street Fighter 6's Year 2 DLC lineup, which introduced notable characters such as M. Bison, Terry Bogard, and Mai Shiranui. Her inclusion brings the total roster to 25 fighters, offering players a diverse range of combat styles.
Fans were treated to a teaser trailer showcasing Elena's vibrant personality and dynamic fighting style. While the trailer primarily features her World Tour introduction, it hints at her signature acrobatic kicks and rhythmic movements.

As the final addition to the current season, Elena's arrival sets the stage for future updates and expansions in the Street Fighter 6 universe. Fans eagerly anticipate how her unique fighting style will influence the competitive scene and what surprises Capcom has in store for upcoming seasons.
