Capcom Gears Up for Alex DLC Release in Street Fighter 6 on Nintendo Switch and eShop
With Spring 2026 on the horizon, Capcom is set to introduce Alex as the next DLC fighter for Street Fighter 6, continuing its strong support for the hit fighting game on Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
Alex, first introduced in Street Fighter 3, quickly earned a dedicated following thanks to his dynamic blend of grappling techniques and straightforward offensive maneuvers.
His storied past even saw Capcom attempt to position him as the new face of the franchise, though iconic fighters Ryu and Ken remained in the spotlight through the years. The upcoming addition of Alex is part of Street Fighter 6’s highly anticipated third season.
Revealed earlier last year alongside the Season 3 roadmap, Alex’s return is notable not just for his gameplay, but for a significant shift in his character alignment.
According to Capcom’s latest teaser trailer, Alex has shed his previous “good guy” persona and now enters the arena as a prime time wrestler, aptly dubbed “The Man With No Allies.” In a striking cinematic reveal, Alex is seen battling a staged rival reminiscent of Hugo Andore, where he leverages underhanded tactics and aggressive moves.
The crowd’s boos underline his new role as an anti-hero within the Street Fighter universe. Exact details on Alex’s updated moveset remain closely guarded, but the teaser did showcase signature maneuvers such as the power bomb and choke hold.
Both have been staples of his repertoire since his debut and are expected to play pivotal roles in his street-fighting approach.
Alex will be the third character introduced during Street Fighter 6’s third season.
The season is set to conclude later this summer with the arrival of Ingrid, another anticipated addition to the roster. Players excited to utilize Alex and upcoming fighters can purchase the “Year 3 Character Pass” via the Nintendo eShop for $29.99, which includes immediate access to previously released fighters Sagat and C.
Viper.
Alex and Ingrid will be available to pass holders as their release dates arrive.
This steady rollout of new content underscores Capcom’s commitment to keeping Street Fighter 6’s community engaged and competitive across Nintendo Switch and other major platforms. The series continues to achieve significant commercial success as well.
Capcom recently announced that Street Fighter 6 has surpassed six million units sold worldwide—a milestone that speaks to the enduring popularity of the franchise on Nintendo Switch, as well as on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
As anticipation builds for both Alex’s arrival and Street Fighter’s upcoming film, set to debut in theaters in October 2026, the future looks bright for both Capcom and Street Fighter fans globally.
