Get ready for a boss frenzy: Akuma is now playable in Street Fighter 6. Along with the new character, Capcom has also launched a new limited-time mode that turns the debuting fighter into a raid boss in the Battle Hub.

Starting on May 22, players can enter the Street Fighter 6 Battle Hub on any platform and be greeted by a new look, marked by a giant hologram Akuma on the center platform. This is part of the new Giant Attack event, where players team up online for a limited time to take on a special boss version of Akuma.

During the event, head to an open arcade cabinet and challenge SiRN Akuma to a match. Be warned though, this souped-up version of Akuma will give you trouble if you're not prepared to take on the demon. Alpha One Akuma vibes, anyone?

The goal is to combine your strength with that of other players to fire Hadokens at the giant Akuma in the Battle Hub until it is defeated. And if you get far enough, you can unlock an extra color to use with Akuma. This is SF6’s first Giant Attack event, and Capcom will likely run multiple iterations of it with other characters and newcomers, essentially using it as a limited-time online game mode.
