In case you missed Yasmine’s reveal, Capcom describes this new character as:
Hailing from the Philippines, Yasmine learned how to fight alongside her Kuya (older brother) under the guidance of her Lolo (grandfather). Following the sudden disappearance of her brother, Yasmine put down her Karambit knife until FooTube videos of a certain French supermodel inspired her to cut a path to her lost sibling. On her journey of discovery, Yasmine will use various high-speed Eskrima techniques.
Aside from Yasmine, the Year 4 Character pass also features Arjun, Tifa from the Final Fantasy VII Remake Series, and Bosch. These three other characters will be released in Autumn 2026, Early 2027, and Spring 2027, respectively.
