Elena joins Street Fighter 6 in June and we have her first trailer

While labelled as a teaser, it still gives us a pretty good look at this character that debuted almost 30 years ago.

On June 5, Switch 2 will be released, and one of the games launching with the console is Street Fighter 6. Capcom will pay extra attention to this by introducing a new character to the popular fighting game.

More specifically, it is about the Kenyan and nature-loving capoeira fighter Elena who originally debuted in Street Fighter III: New Generation from 1997. If you have the Year 2 Character Pass/Ultimate Pass, she is included, but Elena can also be purchased separately for Fighter Coins.

Now we have a first teaser trailer in which she shows her skills, and you can find it below.
