After taking a little break from the spotlight, M. Bison has returned to the main stage of Street Fighter 6, and it looks like he’s got a few surprises in store for his adoring fans.
Capcom just revealed the new Return of Shadaloo Fighting Pass for SF6 with a trailer showing off the elements at play this time around.
As you can probably guess from the title, most of these incoming bounties will be themed around the criminal organization run by the Dictator, as well as his former generals Vega, Balrog, Sagat, and FANG.
For the premium pass, that includes a pretty edgy-looking black and red Shadaloo uniform, though it seems like giving the usual blue soldier suits with helmets would have been more appropriate.
Vulgus will serve this time as the classic Capcom arcade title, as well as Street Fighter 5’s stage music for the original High Roller Casino, Flamenco Tavern, and King’s Court.
Of course, there are also the usual themed photo frames, stickers, titles, and Bison emote, though it seems a new type of reward has been added to the selection.
Going forward, Premium Fighting Passes are said to include special effects for the New Challenger screen, the first being a flaming Shadaloo logo.
On a related note, the Bison update for SF6 also brought a new option to use classic Street Fighter announcers for the challenger screen as well, among other quality of life improvements.
The pass is scheduled to become available in a few hours at midnight PT / 3 a.m. ET on July 1, so it will likely last around July 22 and 23 like the previous ones.
There will also be free rewards available, though we won’t know more about them until the Battle Pass launches.
