Street Fighter 6's first season of DLC was announced before the game's launch, and with the recent release of A.K.I, it is already halfway over. SF6 sees the now much older original characters settling into new ways of life following the defeat of Shadaloo in SF5, accompanied by a new generation of fighters. While Ryu has overcome the temptation of the Satsui no Hadou, he is still challenged by one fighter who gave in to it: the murderous Akuma. Akuma is scheduled to be Street Fighter 6's final DLC character for the first season, meaning that one of Ryu's most fearful rivals will be back, bringing a much more violent take on the Shoto fighting style along with him.
