Lil Wayne, who will feature on Killer Mike’s upcoming solo album, isn’t the first star to get involved with Capcom’s next fighting game. In January, professional wrestler Zelina Vega – real name Thea Trinidad – revealed that she will be in Street Fighter 6 as a commentator.
Vega’s appearance was confirmed during this year’s Royal Rumble, where she entered the arena dressed as Street Fighter character Juri Han.
“One of the top female wrestlers in the world, a top tier commentator, and an avid fighting game fan, Thea Trinidad brings her 10+ years of pro wrestling experience to the world of Street Fighter,” reads her biography on Street Fighter‘s web page.
Street Fighter 6 is set to launch for PlayStation, PC and Xbox Series X|S on June 2. Described as the “next evolution” of Capcom’s fighting series, Street Fighter 6 will launch with a roster of 18 fighters, including fan-favourites Chun-Li and Ryu.
The game will also feature three game modes —including a single-player World Tour campaign and social-oriented multiplayer Battle Hub, as well as Fighting Ground, which gathers up Street Fighter‘s traditional versus modes.
