When developer and publisher Capcom first revealed gameplay of Street Fighter 6 a couple months ago, they had new designs for legacy characters.
Regardless of whether you prefer the new or old looks on the characters who have been around since the franchise’s beginnings, it won’t have to be a problem in the game.
During San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Capcom revealed the classic costumes for some of the characters: Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile, who many would consider to be among the most famous and iconic of Street Fighter.
Capcom shared the high resolution images of these looks alongside new costumes for Luke and Jamie.
Capcom have also confirmed these classic costumes will be DLC for Street Fighter 6. It is unknown at this time as to if they will be available when the game launches in 2023 and if the costumes will be paid or free.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Street Fighter 6
Here comes Capcom’s newest challenger! Street Fighter™ 6 launches worldwide in 2023 and represents the next evolution of the Street Fighter™ series which has sold more than 47 million units since its debut 35 years ago.
