Arjun joins the Street Fighter 6 roster as Year 4 continues in October 2026

Street Fighter 6 Year 4 continues this October with the addition of a brand new fighter named Arjun. Hailing from India, Arjun stands at 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 320 pounds. He utilizes smoke, earth, and brute strength to overpower opponents on the roster. Players will be able to add him to their character selection when he makes his official debut on October 13, 2026.

Arjun brings a unique kit to the fighting game that relies on distinct elemental abilities and heavy physical attacks. One of his signature moves allows him to blow a smoke ring directly in front of him. If an enemy is close, they take damage and launch into the air. If the opponent is far away, Arjun can interact with the smoke ring to send it flying as a projectile. This projectile acts as a combo starter or extender, while also deterring opponents trying to close the distance or drop in from above.

Another signature ability allows Arjun to summon a spire of earth from the ground after a brief delay. The attack is accompanied by billowing steam and knocks opponents into the air. Even if it misses, the visual cue provides strong stage control by forcing opponents to jump or dodge, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up strikes. His core gameplay heavily features throws that slam enemies into the ground and launch them back upward. These heavy-hitting options make his Drive Impact particularly devastating if he catches an opponent whiffing on a move.
