Casey ScheldMarch 11, 2024

The legendary Akuma will make his way to Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 this spring.

Also known as “Fortitude,””Great Demon,” “Great Devil,” and even “Great Ogre,” Akuma originally made his appearance back in the 90s in Super Street Fighter II Turbo. Setting forth on a single-minded quest for strength, he is a recurring antagonist that is dead-set on mastering the Satsui no Hado.

This fearsome fighter will make his appearance in World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground when he is released.

Featuring a Street Fighter Alpha 2 throwback, be sure to check out the latest Street Fighter 6 Akuma teaser trailer via the official @StreetFighter YouTube account:

We reviewed the base version of Street Fighter 6 last year, giving it a score of 95/100:

Street Fighter 6 is the complete package, with decades of refinement proudly on display. Whether you’re flying solo or hitting the streets with others, this is the definitive Street Fighter experience.
