Rashid Arrives! bundle arrives in SF6, doesn’t feature Rashid

Rashid, the laid-back Middle Eastern protagonist of Street Fighter 5 will land in Street Fighter 6 as the first DLC character released. And, although not playable yet, Capcom is getting into gear with a brand new premium bundle for you to grab.

The new Rashid Arrives! Fighting Pass costs 250 Fighter Coins and unlocks a mini battle pass for you to level up and unlock goodies. It’ll run from July 4 to July 23. But what it doesn't unlock is the fighter as a playable character.

The Rashid Arrives! Fighting Pass features almost two dozen items, including the following:

Now, the inclusion of some of these items has worried fans. For instance, the inclusion of Laura’s theme might mean she’s not getting her own DLC release (although it’s hard to tell just from a theme). But overall, it's nothing too bad.

Most confusingly of all, the Rashid Arrives! Fighting Pass doesn’t unlock Rashid for you… This might have already led to some buyers' remorse from some players.

Rashid is a DLC character, and as such you’ll either have to purchase the season pass, or buy him individually when he’s released. Note that Rashid isn’t unlocked with this Fighting Pass, and isn’t available at all yet. Instead, his release will likely come sometime after the end of the Fighting Pass, perhaps on June 23 when the Pass concludes.

The pass has some nice stuff, but nothing we’d personally jump at buying. Save your coins for Rashid’s release in our opinion!
