Right after the announcement of a TMNT crossover, Capcom showcased a teaser trailer for A.K.I., one of the new playable characters of Street Fighters 6 that will be added later as DLC.
While the trailer didn't show any gameplay, it gives players a glimpse into what kind of person A.K.I. is. Needless to say, her psychotic persona makes one heck of a disturbing first impression and will no doubt terrify players once she officially drops.
A.K.I. will be added to Street Fighter 6 during Autumn 2023. She can be purchased separately, as part of the Year 1 Character Pass and Ultimate Pass, or as part of the Deluxe and Ultimate Edition of Street Fighter 6.
Street Fighter 6 is about to gain some Turtle Power!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are no strangers when it comes to fighting games. They had a fighting game in the 1990s called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters on the SNES. They were featured as playable characters in Injustice 2 where they fought DC Comics superheroes like Superman and Batman. And Leonardo, Michelangelo, April O'Neal, and The Shredder were playable fighters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.
So, it is a pleasant surprise to see the Ninja Turtles' fighting game career reach new heights by coming a part of Street Fighter 6 as player avatar costumes. Seeing the Ninja Turtles interact with Street Fighter in the World Tour mode cutscenes, and fighting fan-made characters in the online Battle Hub is one of the many reasons why Street Fighter 6 is one of the best Xbox fighting games released this year.
