Capcom announced that Street Fighter will continue to receive new characters and content updates throughout the first year of the game’s release. The first fighter Rashid has already been introduced to the game with its launch back in June and the studio has finally shown more gameplay footage of the second character, A.K.I.

Introducing A.K.I as the understudy of F.A.N.G, the former leader of Shadaloo. Her fighting style centers on using strong poison to harm her opponents. While poison serves as her primary weapon, she also wields her snake fist and sharp claws. As a versatile fighter, she mainly utilizes poisonous projectiles and claw attacks to take down enemies. She excels in combat at close to mid-range, inflicting heightened damage on adversaries afflicted by poison.

Along with the fighter, players will get 2 outfits that feature colors 3-10 upon release. While A.K.I will appear as a master in the World Tour mode, she will be a playable character in PvP modes, too. Along with the new character, Capcom will be releasing a new location called Tian Hong Yuan in the World Tour Mode.
