Nevertheless, this additionally means the way forward for Road Fighter 6‘s DLC is wanting nebulous, with no point out of a second season of fighters.
Let’s deal with Akuma for now. Unsurprisingly, he seems nice in gameplay, as soon as once more providing a extra brutal tackle Ryu’s combating type. He might look a lot older, together with his previously flaming pink hair now a ghostly white (he does have a fancy dress that reverts to him his unique design), however he stays as vicious and unrelenting as ever. He even instantly assaults your customized character while you discover him in Road Fighter 6‘s World Tour mode.
All of Akuma’s traditional strikes are again, together with the power to warp from one aspect of the stage to the opposite and his iconic Shun Goku Satsu (often known as the Raging Demon) assault. Whereas it features identically to the way it did in earlier video games, its visuals have been radically altered. Beforehand, the assault befell in pitch blackness, which means you couldn’t see what Akuma did to his opponent. Now, although, the display screen goes black and white as he unleashes a relentless assault of blows earlier than summoning what seems like 100 copies of him that every one crash down on the opponent.
Akuma will probably be added to the sport on Might 22, with him out there instantly for anybody who’s already purchased the Character Move. A brand new stage referred to as Enma’s Hole will arrive too, however solely for many who personal the 12 months 1 Final Move. Lastly, there’ll be a serious stability patch on the identical day that may introduce modifications to each character within the sport. Capcom will probably be sharing extra particulars on that at a later date.
The inclusion of Akuma is undeniably thrilling, however now followers are left to marvel what Capcom has deliberate subsequent. Akuma serves because the final confirmed DLC character for Road Fighter 6, following the additions of Rashid, A.Okay.I., and Ed during the last 10 months. Whereas there’s nothing official, Capcom doubtless has a second yr of DLC deliberate that may add much more characters to the sport; the actual query is who they’ll be.
It’s actually laborious to foretell since there’s nonetheless an amazing quantity of fan-favorites nonetheless absent from Road Fighter 6, resembling Sakura and Sagat, however Capcom might additionally introduce solely new characters to the roster. With a bit of luck, Capcom can have one thing to say about Road Fighter 6‘s future in time for the sport’s one yr anniversary in June. If not then, then on the Evo 2024 USA occasion in Las Vegas, which is able to run from July 19 to July 21.
