Rashid Joins Street Fighter 6 in July as DLC

Capcom revealed the release date for the Street Fighter 6 Rashid DLC. It will debut later this month on July 24, 2023. He will be available in the Year 1 Character Pass or on his own. A Rental Fighter ticket can also be earned in-game and used to try him out for an hour.

Getting Rashid means that he is available both as a playable character and in the story mode as a Master. So if your avatar gets to know him, you get his attacks and can form a bond with him. Some of his confirmed attacks this time around are Arabian Cyclone, Arabian Skyhigh, Rolling Assault, Super Rashid Kick, and Wing Stroke. Capcom also noted his Level 2 Super Art is Ysaar and Level 3 Super Art is Altair.

Here’s the first trailer showing Rashid gameplay.

Ahead of the Rashid DLC release date, there’s a Street Fighter 6 Fighting Pass available based on him. It features custom character clothing and accessories for avatars, a new classic game, Rashid stickers, and songs like “Laura’s Theme,” “Necalli’s Theme,” and “Rashid’s Theme.”

Street Fighter 6 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Rashid DLC release date is July 24, 2023. The game will also eventually appear in arcades.
