Capcom has revealed Yasmine, a new fighter from the Philippines, as the first DLC character for Street Fighter 6 Year 4 [1].
The addition of Yasmine introduces Eskrima, a traditional Filipino martial art, to the game's combat system. This expansion diversifies the fighting styles available in the roster and marks the beginning of the Year 4 content cycle.
According to a gameplay trailer, Yasmine will officially join the game on Aug. 3, 2026 [1]. The character is designed as a "World Warrior" who utilizes a rush-down playstyle based on her Eskrima skills [2].
Players can access the character across several platforms, including PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S [1]. The wide availability ensures the new fighter is accessible to the majority of the existing player base, spanning both current and next-generation hardware.
Regarding acquisition, Yasmine can be purchased individually using Fighter Coins [3]. She is also automatically included for players who own the Year 4 Character Pass or the Ultimate Pass [3].
"Introducing Yasmine, the brand‑new World Warrior from the Philippines, and the first DLC fighter for Street Fighter 6 Year 4," IGN said in the reveal video [1]. GameSpot said Yasmine "will rush you down with her skills in Eskrima on August 3" [2].
The reveal trailer showcases the character's specific animations and combat mechanics, highlighting the influence of Filipino weaponry and striking techniques on her move set [1].
