Capcom on April 22, 2026 released a full gameplay trailer for Ingrid, the fourth and final DLC character of Street Fighter 6’s Year 3 Character Pass, with a confirmed launch date of May 28, 2026. The reveal was first announced via the official Street Fighter channel and corroborated by Gematsu, EventHubs and Nintendo Life. Ingrid first appeared in Capcom Fighting Evolution in 2004 and again in Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX in 2006, making this her debut in a mainline numbered Street Fighter entry and one of the longest waits between revivals in the franchise.

Her kit leans into a unique combination of long-range pressure and aerial pursuit. According to Capcom’s breakdown, the character casts energy lasers, can teleport short distances and converts ranged hits into airborne combos via Sun Drive aerial strikes. EventHubs notes Ingrid can also taunt mid-match into a small floating familiar that fires its own projectiles — a stylistic carry-over from her CFE iteration. Capcom confirmed two launch outfits: a redesigned look tied to her dimensional-traveler lore, and Outfit 2 that recreates her classic purple school uniform from earlier appearances.

Ingrid closes Year 3 of the Character Pass alongside earlier additions like Sagat and Mai Shiranui, and her release on May 28 will be paired with a balance patch for the broader roster, per Capcom’s communications. The drop arrives as Street Fighter 6 is heading into the back half of its competitive year — the Capcom Pro Tour Capcom Cup XI cycle is in full swing — and Ingrid’s zoning toolkit is expected to shake up tournament tier discussions immediately. The character will be available individually or via the Year 3 Character Pass on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and the Capcom Fighting Collection storefront.
