Street Fighter 6's roster has continued to grow, and as we enter 2026, Capcom is now looking towards the return of Alex.
We saw him in action in a teaser trailer earlier this month, and this week Capcom has now rolled out first-look gameplay of the "Big Apple brawler".
No use holding back when faced with the Dark Devil himself, as he'll show you no mercy with his array of devastatingly powerful throws!
Alex can be purchased individually with Fighter Coins and the owners of the Year 3 Character Pass / Ultimate Pass will automatically get access to Alex when he releases.

As noted above, Alex is available as part of the Season 3 Character Pass DLC, or you can purchase him separately with Fighter Coins. Capcom also offers in-game rentals, where you can try out a character for one hour before purchasing them.
This character steps into the ring on 17th March 2026 and is joined by the already available characters Sagat and C.Viper, with Ingrid up next.
Capcom has also managed to secure one of the "biggest names in the anime song universe" JAM Project - which has contributed to this original BGM track "Go! Alex! Hope is Born! - Alex's Theme". You can listen and sing along to the full song in the YouTube upload below:
