Ed has gone from NPC in Street Fighter 4 to playable fighter in Street Fighter 5. Now he’ll return to Street Fighter 6. Here’s all you need to know about Ed’s arrival.
When is Ed Being Added to Street Fighter 6?
Ed’s release date for Street Fighter 6 is February 27. The Ed gameplay trailer video uploaded to the Street Fighter official YouTube channel on February 8 didn’t include any information on when Ed is set to join Street Fighter 6. The official Street Fighter 6 website, on the other hand, confirms that Ed will be available on February 27.
How Much will Ed Cost in Street Fighter 6?
So far, each Street Fighter 6 DLC character has cost 350 Fighter Coins, which is equivalent to 7 USD. It’s highly likely that Ed will also cost 350 Fighter Coins, or $7.
If you’re interested in trying out Ed before committing to buy him, you can use Street Fighter 6’s Rental Fighter system to have access to him for an hour.
