Capcom announced the exact release date for Ed in Street Fighter 6. When it released a teaser trailer in January 2024, it noted that the Street Fighter V debutant would appear in February 2024. The company has since confirmed that Ed will be available on February 27, 2024.
To help players hype up Ed’s release, Capcom has also released a new Fighting Pass titled “Ed Arrives!” This pass adds a photo frame featuring Ed and a Neo Shadaloo device wallpaper. It also comes with an avatar gear set, a new emote, three title bars, and five stickers that include a chibi artwork of Falke.
In addition, the pass features the 1991 beat ’em up arcade title Captain Commando as a playable classic game. It also brings in three BGMs from Street Fighter V: Ed’s Theme, Falke’s Theme, and Balrog’s Theme. As a side note, the latter is alternatively titled M. Bison’s Theme in the Japanese version, as that is what the boxer is known as in the country, owing to the name swaps made in the series’ localization.
Capcom has also published a trailer showcasing the Fighting Pass on YouTube:
Street Fighter 6 is readily available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Ed will appear as the third post-launch character in Street Fighter 6 on February 27, 2024.
