During the 2026 Summer Game Fest, Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII was announced as the next DLC guest character for Street Fighter 6. She will arrive in early 2027 as part of the game’s Year 4 Season Pass of new content alongside new characters Arjun, Yasmine, and Bosch.
Tifa is currently slated to be the third character of the set to be released, and she will be available as part of the Year 4 Character Pass or Ultimate Pass. After the reveal trailer, Director of Street Fighter 6 Takayuki Nakayama and Director of Square Enix Naoki Hamaguchi took to the stage to explain that not only would Materia feature as a new gameplay feature for Tifa, but that another “iconic Final Fantasy element” would also be adapted for the game.

Unfortunately, Tifa will not have any story content added to the game, as Capcom have previously stated that the World Tour story mode would not be updated after the recent release of Ingrid. Those wanting more story content involving Tifa will have to look forward to the release of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, which was also announced at Summer Game Fest.
Tifa Lockhart set to arrive as a playable character in Street Fighter 6 sometime in early 2027. The main game is immediately available on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X.
