Between the release of Mortal Kombat 1 and the addition of AKI to Street Fighter 6’s roster, fans of Versus Fighting have several options to choose from, especially considering Tekken 8 will be released in early 2024. Currently, we are focusing on the latest playable character in Street Fighter 6, as Capcom has announced her availability through a paid update. She is the second fighter to enhance the game’s content, following Rashid’s introduction a few months ago. Like Rashid, AKI will be featured across the game’s three main modes: World Tour, Fighting Ground, and Battle Hub.
In the World Tour mode, players can encounter A.K.I. and engage with a new story mode to obtain her fighting style and special moves, allowing for further customization of their avatar. To achieve this, they must delve into her background and build stronger relationships with this new Combat Master. The update includes the addition of new NPCs and locations.
Fighting Ground: A.K.I. is the twentieth playable character, bringing a set of unique new moves that players will need to master. Her story is added to the Arcade mode.
Battle Hub: Players may now utilize their customized avatar alongside A.K.I.’s combat style and special moves (after unlocking them in World Tour mode). The shop now includes A.K.I.’s Costume 2, available in colors 3 through 10, as well as Street Fighter League equipment for the avatar.
Here is a new trailer to become better acquainted with this sharp-nailed Chinese fighter.
