Capcom goes for cheap tricks with thirsty Street Fighter 6 swimsuits
Cammy, Chun-Li, Luke, and more are set to receive swimsuit outfits in a new update for Street Fighter 6, and very little is left to the imagination. Some fighting game series, like Dead Or Alive, are renowned for their overtly sexual depictions of female characters, and some new outfits in Street Fighter 6 are approaching the same territory. As revealed in the Capcom Spotlight showcase, Sagat is the next DLC character heading to Street Fighter 6, on August 5, 2025. Alongside the new character, Capcom is set to finally roll out some new outfits for some of the other characters, over a year and a half after Outfit 3's launch in December 2023. While many fans have been disappointed by the lack of alternate outfits in Street Fighter 6, when compared to previous entries, Capcom has slammed the bikini panic button in what feels like a desperate cash grab to distract from the lengthy wait. As revealed in the showcase, Outfit 4 for characters Cammy, Luke, Chun-Li, Manon, Jamie, Kimberly, and A.K.I. are all swimsuits. As pointed out by Street Fighter director and designer Takayuki Nakayama on X, the Cammy and Chun-Li swimsuits closely resemble their appearance in artwork produced for the original Street Fighter 2. While we might like to think things have progressed since 1991, when Street Fighter 2 first came out, some of the outfits here are very revealing, especially when you compare the female costumes with the ones for Luke and Jamie. Other characters on the Street Fighter 6 roster are set to receive their fourth costumes at a later date, although it's unclear if they'll also be swimwear.

The game will feature four new fighters and more new content as well as a closed beta that's set to debut this October. More Capcom There is no word yet on writers or producers for the video game adaptation, and the plot is still being kept tightly under wraps. The "Street Fighter" games first launched in 1987 and it's spawned numerous sequels and spinoffs. Capcom has sold over 55 million units of the various titles, rendering it one of the most popular and profitable game franchises in the world. The games usually revolve around a global fighting competition organized by the villainous M. Bison. Along with being experts in the martial arts, many of the competitors exhibit supernatural abilities. Ming-Na Wen played the role of Chun-Li in the 1994 live-action "Street Fighter" that was written and directed by Steven E. de Souza. She was joined in the flick by Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, and Wes Studi among others. The 1994 "Street Fighter" may not be a cinematic masterpiece - it has an absolutely horrible 11% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it put butts in seats. It made $100 million globally against a $35 million production budget, and reportedly continues to put millions in Capcom's coffers. Liang so far has a young but impressive career. Along with starring beside Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan in "Presence", the Canadian actress has appeared in AppleTV+'s "Foundation". She also starred in the short-lived teen drama "Tell Me Everything", and led the 2024 thriller "Bad Genius".
