Street Fighter 6 reintroduces Elena – along with another iconic figure from history.

Elena is making her grand reappearance in Street Fighter 6 on June 5! But wait, there’s even more exciting news. Capcom just dropped a bombshell on X (yep, that’s Twitter’s new name) that the legendary Yoko Shimomura is teaming up with them to bring us a brand-new track! How awesome is that?

The new tune, called “Edge of Triumph,” is set to feature in the character BGM settings when Elena steps back into the spotlight. This track is a total banger, packed with Shimomura’s signature flair that blends perfectly with the already phenomenal soundtrack of Street Fighter 6.

If you haven’t heard of Yoko Shimomura, it’s time to get acquainted. This music genius has been rocking the video game world for over thirty years! Her incredible compositions grace iconic titles like Live A Live, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fight, Super Mario RPG, and even Street Fighter II. Recently, she received a BAFTA Fellowship at the 2025 BAFTA Game Awards, celebrating her groundbreaking work and inspiring role for women in a field that has historically been male-dominated. Talk about a powerhouse!

Now, let’s get back to our girl Elena! This fan-favorite from Street Fighter 3 isn’t just rejoining the fray, she’s also bringing along the stunning Reniala Remains stage, inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Africa. And can we talk about timing? This announcement comes just as the Nintendo Switch 2 is about to launch, along with a shiny new version of Street Fighter 6 called Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Edition.
