The Emperor of Muay Thai is set to make his commanding return. Sagat will join the “Street Fighter™ 6” roster on Aug. 5, 2025, for Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Announced by Capcom, the legendary final boss from the original “Street Fighter™” will be the first character of the game’s Year 3 content drop. Fans can get an early hands-on preview of Sagat at the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) 2025 in Las Vegas from Aug. 1-3 at the Capcom booth.
Sagat’s moveset remains true to his Muay Thai roots, featuring his signature “High Tiger Shot” and “Low Tiger Shot” projectiles, the formidable “Tiger Uppercut,” and the swift “Tiger Knee Crush.” A new special move, “Tiger Nexus,” has been added, allowing for three different follow-up kicks: Mighty Tiger, Greedy Tiger, or Nova Tiger.
His Level 1 Super Art is the “Tiger Cannon,” a powerful ki blast. The Level 2 Super Art, “Savage Tiger,” is a versatile leaping attack with four potential follow-ups offering high damage, air launch, side-switching, or close-range pressure. Sagat’s Level 3 Super Art, “Tiger Vanquisher,” unleashes a devastating series of kicks and a powerful uppercut.
A new stage, “Proud Spire,” will be released alongside the character, featuring a serene temple background.
Players can choose between two outfits for Sagat. Outfit 1 presents a modern, darker take on his Muay Thai attire. Outfit 2 is a throwback to his classic “Street Fighter II” appearance with traditional shorts and wraps. The second outfit can be unlocked by maxing out the in-game bond with Sagat in the World Tour mode or purchased with Fighter Coins.
The Year 3 Character Pass and Ultimate Pass are available for purchase now. Both passes will grant access to Sagat and the three subsequent Year 3 characters: C. Viper (Autumn 2025), Alex (Early Spring 2026), and Ingrid (Late Spring 2026). The passes also include new outfit colors and Drive Tickets.
In other “Street Fighter 6” news, new swimsuit outfits for Cammy, Luke, Chun-Li, Manon, Jamie, Kimberly, and A.K.I. will be released with the Sagat update. The collaboration with K-pop group æspa continues until Aug. 4, offering players a chance to acquire a special outfit for Juri and use nævis as a real-time commentator.
