Capcom has released details on how to find and unlock Elena, the final DLC character for Street Fighter 6 Season 2. To meet the capoeira fighter, players must first clear Chapter 7-2 of the main story. Next, they need to return to their Hangout and select the new Animal Paradise location found at her Reniala Remains stage, set to release with Elena.
From there, players can accept new missions from Elena and learn her fighting style and special moves for their avatar. Those who max out Elena’s mastery level will unlock her classic Outfit 2 without needing Fighter Coins. Elena is scheduled to launch on June 5 alongside Street Fighter 6’s Season 3 update and Nintendo Switch 2 version.
The upcoming Season 3 patch promises system changes, including Perfect Parries requiring additional inputs for the screen freeze animation and teching throws on defense with new benefits. Additionally, Capcom will implement quality of life features, which will be revealed in coming days. A Street Fighter 6 2nd Anniversary event is also planned for next week.
