"New Street Fighter 6 Designs Revealed: Akuma's Updated Look and Alternate Costumes"

Capcom has confirmed Ed, Rashid, Akuma, and A.K.I. as the first four DLC characters for Street Fighter 6, with Akuma's design notably changed from last year's leak. While the base design remains the same, Akuma's hair is now stark white and his prayer beads appear to be black instead of brown, possibly to age him up and resemble Gouken more closely. Street Fighter 6 is set to launch on June 2, 2023, with Akuma's new design available for play in Spring next year.
