Capcom announced this week that not only will a new balance patch for Street Fighter 6 be released on December 2nd, but that another special boss fight event will also start on the same day. SiRN M. Bison is invading the Battle Hub and will be equipped with all sorts of new, powerful tools to make the fight against him as difficult as possible.

However, before this event takes place, Capcom is giving fans a Bison-themed free gift that everyone can claim now. The company shared a code on Twitter that you can enter in-game to get M. Bison’s special color EX01 for his Outfit 2.

“I need more efficient bodies! Spread my orders and I will give you something good in return!” wrote the official Street Fighter 6 Twitter account. “Share the news with this EX color code!”

The tweet includes an image with the code needed to redeem your color (which you can find in the image gallery below).

Capcom took this opportunity to announce the dates when the upcoming Bison event will go live. You can fight this special enemy starting December 2nd at 5:00 PM PT and he will be playable until December 16th at 4:59 PM.

It’s worth noting that part of the rewards you get for defeating SiRN M. Bison multiple times is the special color EX02. The one you can get now via the code is his EX01, so you can look forward to having two new Bison colors here soon.

I don’t think Capcom has ever released a code for use in Street Fighter 6 before, but luckily they have provided some instructions on how to redeem it.

“Go to the in-game options menu and select ‘Enter Event Code’ to redeem Color EX1 for M. Bison Outfit 2,” Capcom wrote. Once you’ve done this, you’ll receive a notification letting you know the color has been unlocked and you can immediately use it in any mode you want.
