Street Fighter 6 enthusiasts, brace yourselves for an exciting new update! Capcom has just unveiled the latest fighting pass, the Rival Schools Gala Fighting Pass, which hits the scene on April 1. This limited-time pass is jam-packed with goodies, featuring a fresh collection of avatar cosmetics, stickers, photo frames, and even some enticing new tunes to keep your battles energized. With its availability capped at about three weeks, make sure to dive in soon to snag these exclusive items.
Capcom’s recent announcement brings a delightful surprise for fans of its more niche fighting series. Following the path of previous fighting passes, the Rival Schools Fighting Pass offers an array of exciting new rewards, just in time for Elena’s highly anticipated arrival to Street Fighter 6. As we look towards 2025, there’s much buzz about further updates that are sure to keep the game feeling fresh.
Since its grand debut in summer 2023, Street Fighter 6 has been a smash hit, revitalizing Capcom’s famed 2D fighting saga with its own modern twists. The constant influx of content updates has breathed new life into the game, evolving the platform with new characters and gameplay enhancements. Central to this evolution are the game’s Fighting Passes, which present limited-time events packed with unique rewards. This particular pass weaves in elements from Capcom’s somewhat under-the-radar Rival Schools series, sparking excitement among long-time fans.
The new Rival Schools Gala Fighting Pass is a nostalgic nod, bringing beloved characters to the forefront. Fans can look forward to a host of avatar cosmetics, including Akira Kazama’s iconic motorcycle helmet, along with an array of new stickers and photo frames. Of course, the soundtrack isn’t left behind, with the bonus addition of Warriors of Fate as this month’s classic game theme. Set your calendars for April 1, post-server maintenance, when this pass goes live, gearing up for its three-week duration.
Interestingly, this pass coincides with Project Justice’s influence in the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, launching in May. While some anticipated this update to feature a spotlight on new character Elena, it clarifies that her arrival follows the conclusion of this event later in the summer.
Capcom has faced some mixed feedback over its handling of Street Fighter 6’s post-launch plans, especially concerning the game’s ancillary offerings. Earlier concerns around a shortage of character costumes rather than avatar items underscored the debate among fans. Nevertheless, with Street Fighter 6’s initial roster boasting 18 fighters, and judging from Street Fighter 5’s evolving roster, there’s a promising future for even more character integrations. As we look forward to more exciting updates and expansions, it’s clear Capcom is not slowing down on delivering content that keeps its player base engaged and entertained.
