Capcom has unveiled a teaser trailer for Alex, the next character joining Street Fighter 6's Year 3 roster. The fighter, known for blending street-fighting and pro-wrestling moves, is now set for a spring 2026 release. This follows recent additions like C. Viper and Sagat.
Capcom continues to expand Street Fighter 6's roster with its Year 3 lineup, starting with Alex. On January 9, 2026, the company released a teaser trailer showcasing the character's moves in a caged fight against Andore. The video, lasting just over a minute and a half, highlights Alex's pro-wrestling theme through knee strikes, drop kicks, power bombs, and a finishing headlock.
Originally slated for winter 2025, Alex's arrival has shifted to spring 2026, as noted in the trailer's description. Like previous DLC characters, he will serve as a master in the game's World Tour mode, allowing players' custom avatars to learn his techniques.
Alex joins Sagat, C. Viper, and Ingrid in the Year 3 announcements. He last appeared in Street Fighter 5 and debuted in Street Fighter 3 as the game's mascot. That title initially struggled without legacy characters like Ryu and Chun-Li but gained popularity with Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, which balanced new and returning fighters.
The most recent addition before Alex was C. Viper in October, featuring short-range attacks with fiery kicks and shocking punches. She debuted in Street Fighter 4 as a CIA agent infiltrating Shadaloo to counter M. Bison and Seth. Prior to her, Sagat returned; he was the final boss in the 1987 original Street Fighter, using fireballs, uppercuts, and knee strikes for zoning.
Street Fighter 6 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
