Capcom has announced the release date of troubled newcomer A.K.I, a poison user who is clearly the student of Street Fighter 5’s whackjob F.A.N.G.

Her moves and kit features a lot of, how shall we say, slinkiness to them. She has a lot of low profile when she’s darting across the field, and then striking fast while also filling up some parts of the screen with poison and traps. Being F.A.N.G’s student, she does have similar moves to her SF5 counterpart but with a bit more range and fast strikes. Check it out below.

In addition, Capcom also announced an “A.K.I Arrive!” Fighting Pass bonus, where you can earn a bunch of cosmetic items inspired by the serpentine assassin. The “A.K.I Arrives!” pass will drop on 1st September. Players can win new free and premium (paid) rewards for collecting Kudos; basically a Battle Pass system where you win stuff for grinding, and premium stuff if you paid for it.

Prepare for A.K.I.'s incoming concoction with the "A.K.I. Arrives!" Fighting Pass starting on September 1. ??

A.K.I will be slithering her way into the roster on 29th September. Street Fighter 6 is out now for PC and consoles; I suggest you level up your World Tour character so you can partake in her eventual Master route.
