In the scorching summer of 2023, the much-anticipated game, Street Fighter 6, made its debut. It marked a comeback to classic form and the beginning of a fresh chapter for Capcom’s iconic 2D fighting series. Since then, the game has been consistently updated with new content, from character additions to gameplay adjustments, transforming the Street Fighter 6 experience significantly.

Street Fighter 6 includes various Fighting Passes, enabling players to participate in limited-time events for unique rewards. The most recent pass reintroduces Capcom’s beloved Rival Schools franchise, a surprising yet thrilling update for dedicated fans who have been following the series.

Stepping into the arena as a die-hard gamer, I’m pumped about the latest addition to Street Fighter 6 – the Rival Schools Gala Fighting Pass! This bad boy brings Capcom’s underdog fighting series right back to the heart of the action. With this pass, I can unlock some fresh new avatar goodies, like Akira Kazama’s classic motorcycle helmet. There are also snazzy new stickers and photo frames to customize my gameplay experience. As usual with Street Fighter 6, we’ve got some groovy tunes added in too, and this month it’s the legendary Warriors of Fate taking center stage! This pass will last about three weeks and drops on April 1st, following Street Fighter 6’s server maintenance. Can’t wait to get my game on!

Street Fighter 6 Reveals Rival Schools Gala Fighting Pass

In relation to Project Justice, the sequel of Rival Schools, being a key component in Capcom Fighting Collection 2, which drops in May, it’s worth noting that this recent update might not align with fans’ expectations regarding Street Fighter 6’s new character Elena. Some had speculated that today’s news was an Elena fighting pass. However, it has been clarified that Elena won’t be making her appearance until the summer, following the conclusion of this Rival Schools event.

In recent times, Capcom has faced criticism for the management of post-release content in Street Fighter 6, particularly concerning cosmetics, raising curiosity about players’ reactions towards the new Rival Schools event. The debate started earlier this year when fans expressed disappointment over the absence of character costumes in Street Fighter 6, as Capcom appeared to focus more on avatar items. Characters are crucial in fighting games like Street Fighter 6, and it follows that they would be vital here too. There seems to be a lot more content planned for the game. At launch, it featured 18 characters, and if Street Fighter 5 is any indication, Street Fighter 6 could potentially end with several dozen characters.
