Reporting from 2 sources: Game Spark, Inside.
Capcom will release a gameplay trailer for Yasmin, the first additional character in Street Fighter 6's Year 4, on June 18 at 8:00 AM. Yasmin is a new series debut character: a shy high school girl from the Philippines who fights using Eskrima and Silat techniques inherited from her grandfather, wielding a crescent-bladed karambit knife. She enters the street fighting world to search for her missing older brother. The Year 4 lineup also includes three other new characters: Arjun, a series debut; Bosh, one of the dual protagonists from World Tour; and guest character Tifa from Final Fantasy VII. The release schedule places Yasmin in summer 2026, Arjun in fall 2026, Tifa in early 2027, and Bosh in spring 2027. Street Fighter 6 is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Capcom has not detailed the length of the trailer or whether it will show gameplay footage beyond basic moves. The karambit knife Yasmin wields is a curved blade designed to hook onto an opponent's weapon or limb, a detail the sources note as a key part of her fighting style. The character's shy personality is described as a contrast to the typical brash or confident fighters in the series.
Year 4 of Street Fighter 6 will add four characters total. The lineup includes:
- Yasmin (summer 2026) - a high school girl from the Philippines, first female high school fighter in series history, uses Eskrima and Silat with a karambit knife.
- Arjun (fall 2026) - a series debut character; no further details provided.
- Tifa (early 2027) - guest character from Final Fantasy VII.
- Bosh (spring 2027) - one of the dual protagonists from World Tour mode.
The game is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. The trailer will be released on June 18 at 8:00 AM.
