The world-renowned fighting game developer debuted a fresh teaser trailer highlighting the fan-favorite fighter, sparking excitement within the community.
As part of Capcom's ongoing support for Street Fighter 6, this reveal continues the company’s recent pattern of listening closely to fan feedback when expanding the game's lineup.
C.
Viper first appeared in Street Fighter IV over a decade ago and quickly built a devoted fanbase due to her distinctive, Western-inspired design and unique move set.
Since then, her appearances in the franchise have been limited, making her upcoming return a highly anticipated event for long-time fans and competitive players alike.
Though the EVO 2025 trailer did not display C.

The update retains much of her classic look but introduces a contemporary, streamlined feel.
Notably, her attire now features a striking shift from black to white, signaling an evolution in both style and character identity.

Capcom has made it clear that they value input from the fanbase, and the addition of C.
Viper aligns with recent calls from players for the return of classic characters.
This fan-focused approach has defined the current DLC strategy, ensuring that each new release resonates strongly within the Street Fighter community.
While C.
Viper’s exact release date has not been confirmed, Capcom has scheduled the launch of Sagat for August 5, 2025.
