A New Era for Street Fighter 6: Ed’s Arrival Imminent
Street Fighter 6 players eagerly await the next character update as Capcom gears up for a maintenance period in January and February. The popular game will undergo maintenance starting on Wednesday, January 31st at 8:00 PM Pacific Time/11:00 PM Eastern Time and will last until midnight Pacific Time/3:00 AM Eastern Time the next day.
During this maintenance window, all online features, including online matches, the Capcom Fighters Network, and progress/rewards in missions, will be temporarily unavailable.
While Capcom had previously announced that Ed would be released in February, it is unlikely that he would suddenly appear tomorrow evening without any prior notice. Instead, it is more likely that the update will introduce the “Ed Arrives” Fighting Pass, similar to what we have seen with Rashid and A.K.I before.
This would mean that players will have access to Ed, as well as Neo Shadaloo-themed accessories and the usual additions like arcade cabinets and classic music options.
Capcom Cup X is also scheduled for February, and since we have already received the Capcom Cup Supporters Fighting Pass earlier this month, it is safe to assume that the upcoming event will focus on Ed.
Looking back at previous Fighting Passes in Street Fighter 6, it is likely that the pass will expire just before the start of Capcom Cup, which runs from February 16th to 25th. This might suggest that Ed’s premiere will coincide with the end of the event, a tradition seen during the lifespan of Street Fighter 5. However, no official information has been confirmed yet.
If this is indeed a new Fighting Pass, fans should expect an official announcement on Wednesday or Thursday. So stay vigilant and keep an eye out for the latest updates regarding Street Fighter 6.
