Capcom has dropped a full gameplay trailer for Ingrid, the sixth and final character joining Street Fighter 6 as part of the Year 3 DLC roster – and if the trailer is anything to go by, she is going to be an absolute handful to fight against. The three-minute reveal showcases her sunlight-themed projectiles that blind opponents combined with teleportation for close-range pressure, a toolkit that commentator Sajam has already flagged as a nightmare for rushdown players.
Ingrid is something of a deep cut for series faithful – she originally debuted in Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in 1999 as an unlockable character, later appearing in Capcom Fighting Evolution in 2004, before vanishing from mainline titles for over two decades. Her canonical backstory describes her as an extradimensional woman of mystery prophesied to become the series’ ultimate antagonist, which makes her return as Year 3’s capstone feel appropriately dramatic. Community hype has already surged well past the teaser stage, with the PS5 trailer clocking 172K views in just a few weeks – a clear signal that the nostalgia factor is very real.
Ingrid launches on May 28, 2026, available for individual purchase via Fighter Coins – Year 3 Character Pass and Ultimate Pass holders get automatic access on release day. It’s the kind of obscure-but-beloved revival that fighting game fans have come to hope for from Capcom, not unlike the excitement around Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3’s recent announcement stirring up long-dormant hype. With potential tournament debuts at Evo Japan 2026 on the horizon and Year 4 roadmap hints possibly incoming at Summer Game Fest, Street Fighter 6’s momentum shows absolutely no sign of slowing down.
