The game's returning cast includes Ryu, Chun-li, and Luke, the final playable DLC character for Street Fighter V. New to the franchise is Jamie, a breakdancing kickboxer. The launch roster also includes characters Manon, Kimberly, Marisa, Lily, JP, Juri, Dee Jay, Cammy, E. Honda, Blanka, Guile, Ken, Zangief, and Dhalsim.
The first round of DLC characters for the game include returning character Rashid, new character A.K.I., and returning character Akuma in spring 2024. Players are able to purchase characters individually, or purchase all of them in a season pass. New costumes for 18 characters went on sale on December 1.
