Get ready, Street Fighter fans! The much-anticipated Elena and the Season 3 balance patch for Street Fighter 6 are arriving ahead of schedule, thanks to time zone magic! Originally slated for a June 5, 2025 launch, it turns out North America will get to jump into the action a day early.

Capcom has confirmed that while Japan will see the release on the intended date, North American players can expect to download Elena and the First Two Years Fighters Edition on June 4. That cuts the wait from four days to just three—exciting news for eager gamers!

But there’s more! Alongside Elena’s debut, a crucial patch is set to roll out. Although Capcom hasn't officially confirmed it, it's widely believed that the Season 3 balance patch will be available at the same time, bringing eagerly awaited tweaks and adjustments.

While some universal adjustments have been teased, Capcom is keeping the specific character changes under wraps for now. But you can bet fans are on the edge of their seats, anxious to discover how their favorite fighters will be affected.

The Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition will bundle every character released in the first two seasons—including fan-favorites like Rashid, A.K.I., and Akuma—alongside exciting new content like four stages and additional outfits.
