Legend Returns: C. Viper Joins the Fight in Street Fighter 6 This October

Capcom continues to expand Street Fighter 6 and has announced a new character arriving on October 15, 2025. Players will be able to play as C. Viper — a fighter first introduced in Street Fighter IV — returning in a refreshed form.

In Street Fighter 6, C. Viper is presented as the Research Director at SiRN, tasked with eliminating remnants of Shadaloo. The character will be obtainable through the Year 3 Character Pass, the Year 3 Ultimate Pass, or via a standalone purchase with Fighter Coins.

The heroine will receive two outfits: one that reflects her new role and another that recreates her classic Street Fighter IV appearance. These skins can be unlocked with in-game currency or by increasing her affinity in World Tour mode.

On the same day a collaboration with the visual novel Banshee’s Last Cry (Kamaitachi no Yoru) — celebrating the series’ 30th anniversary — will begin. Players will get a free World Tour episode, cosmetic items for the Battle Hub, and login bonuses available during the event.

A new costume for Zangief will also launch on October 15. The update is rounded out by a partnership with the band Cavalera Conspiracy, who contributed an original track inspired by the iconic fighter.
