In the world of Street Fighter 6, fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next DLC character, Akuma. Recent evidence suggests that Capcom may be gearing up for the release of the highly anticipated "Akuma Arrives Fighting Pass."

Capcom has followed a pattern with their DLC releases in the past, starting with teaser trailers and subsequently releasing a dedicated Fighting Pass to celebrate the character's arrival. Based on previous releases, it is likely that Akuma's Fighting Pass could be announced and released as early as tomorrow or the next day.

While there hasn't been an official announcement for the Akuma Fighting Pass, there have been hints and clues. On the Japanese Street Fighter Twitter account, several images of Akuma were posted with the tagline "April 1." It should be noted that April 1 is not documented as Akuma's birthday but rather referred to as an unpredictable piece of information within Street Fighter lore.

Interestingly, the English Street Fighter Twitter account has not made a similar connection between Akuma and April 1. However, a scheduled maintenance period on the night of April 1 implies that something significant may be happening. The maintenance period is expected to last around three hours, and fans speculate that it could be the launch of the Akuma Arrives Fighting Pass.

By logging into Street Fighter 6, fans are informed that the next fighting pass is set to begin on April 1 at 0:00. This aligns with the pattern seen in previous releases, where arrival fighting passes have typically been launched at the beginning of a month. For instance, both the Rashid and A.K.I. Arrives Fighting Passes were released near the start of their respective months.

Considering the timeline of previous character releases, it is reasonable to expect Akuma's gameplay trailer to be unveiled soon. In the past, Capcom has released gameplay trailers either a few days before or after the corresponding arrival fighting pass. Therefore, it is likely that the trailer will be unveiled between April 22 and April 30.

Based on historical release patterns, Akuma's gameplay and subsequent availability as a playable character may occur on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday within the designated release window. Fans eagerly anticipate more information and updates as they eagerly countdown to Akuma's arrival in Street Fighter 6.

As the Akuma Arrives Fighting Pass hype builds, players and fans alike are eagerly awaiting confirmation from Capcom. The speculation surrounding the release window is generating excitement, with the potential for imminent news on Akuma’s debut. Street Fighter enthusiasts cannot wait to unleash the power of this iconic character and see how he shakes up the gameplay dynamics in Street Fighter 6.
