C.Viper Arrives in Street Fighter 6: New Fighter Pass and DLC Updates Revealed

Capcom has officially unveiled the arrival of C.Viper as the latest addition to the Street Fighter 6 roster, confirming her as the second downloadable fighter in the highly anticipated Season 3 DLC lineup.

First introduced in Street Fighter IV, C.Viper brings her dynamic combat style back to the franchise, following last month's successful reintroduction of the iconic fighter Sagat.

The release of C.Viper continues Capcom's commitment to evolving its flagship fighting game for both longtime fans and new competitors across platforms like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. To mark the upcoming debut of C.Viper, Capcom has launched a new Fighting Pass titled “C.Viper Arrives!”, enabling Street Fighter 6 players to prepare for her return and earn exclusive digital rewards.

According to the official Capcom announcement, this limited-time Fighting Pass provides opportunities for players to gather in-game fight data, unlock premium content—including a unique spooky color scheme for Cammy and a striking silver fox look for Guile—and collect Street Fighter IV-themed items and avatar gear.

Additional features include unique Challenger Screen illustrations and stealth-inspired customization options, bolstering the overall live-service experience that Street Fighter 6 continues to deliver. The ongoing Season 3 expansion underscores Capcom’s dedication to the post-launch success of Street Fighter 6, a title that has achieved significant sales milestones since its June 2023 release on major consoles and the Nintendo Switch.

The ongoing release cadence is part of a broader strategy, highlighted in Capcom’s recent patch notes, to continually refine gameplay and balance.

The August roster addition of Sagat was accompanied by a themed Fighting Pass featuring new music and gear, and the latest batch of character adjustments—outlined in Capcom’s official patch notes and summarized by EventHubs—focuses on bug fixes and refined interactions, particularly in preparation for Sagat’s integration. Looking ahead, Capcom confirmed that C.Viper will be followed by the arrivals of Alex and Ingrid, rounding out Season 3’s planned DLC fighters.

Additionally, the upcoming update for Capcom Fighting Collection 2 promises further content, with added characters and gameplay options expanding the company’s fighting game legacy available via the Nintendo eShop and other digital platforms. Fans and competitive players alike can expect a host of new rewards, visual upgrades, and gameplay improvements as part of this multi-faceted update.

The release of the “C.Viper Arrives!” Fighting Pass represents another calculated step in Capcom’s continued support of Street Fighter 6, ensuring that the game remains at the forefront of the genre on the Nintendo Switch and beyond.
