Capcom confirms Tifa for Street Fighter 6 Year 4

Capcom published the Year 4 roadmap for Street Fighter 6 through its official channels and confirmed that Final Fantasy VII character Tifa Lockhart will join the game’s roster as a guest fighter. Year 4 refers to the fourth year of post‑launch support following the game’s 2023 release.

The roadmap outlines continued seasonal content, roster additions, technical updates and balance work. Capcom named Tifa among the fighters planned for the year but did not attach a firm release date, saying more details and a timeline will be shared later in Year 4 communications.

Tifa first appeared in Final Fantasy VII in 1997 and has appeared in other Square Enix projects and crossovers. Her inclusion in Street Fighter 6 continues the game’s pattern of adding guest characters alongside original and returning series fighters.

Since its launch in mid‑2023, Capcom has issued regular updates that expanded the roster, adjusted gameplay balance and added online features. The Year 4 plan continues that support across platforms with ongoing balance and technical work aimed at both casual play and competitive use.

Players and tournament organizers are awaiting information on Tifa’s move set, balance changes and availability window. The roadmap indicates additional content drops and future patch notes, but Capcom has kept specific dates and patch details for later announcements.

Capcom will publish further information on the Year 4 schedule, including character release dates and detailed patch notes, in upcoming updates.
