[Fri 11th Apr, 2025 00:45 BST] Capcom announced it would be bringing Street Fighter 6 to the Switch 2 last week and today it has confirmed the release date of the final ‘Year 2’ DLC fighter Elena.
This character (first appearing in Street Fighter III: New Generation) will be released the same day as Street Fighter 6’s Switch 2 launch on 5th June 2025. She’ll be available across all the game’s modes including World Tour, the Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground.
This also happens to line up with the launch date of the new Nintendo console. Fortunately, for Nintendo players, the Switch 2 version includes “all characters and stages from both Year 1 and Year 2”.
With nature and wildlife at her side, Elena dances into #StreetFighter6 on June 5, the same day the Years 1-2 Fighters Edition arrives! 🤸🏾♀️
