Capcom has been a busy little bee lately, announcing a new version of Street Fighter V and detailing their big plans for this weekend’s new York Comic Con.
You can read about both after the break.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition coming January 16! [Capcom-Unity]
Even though it was first released nearly two years ago, Street Fighter V still doesn’t have an Arcade Mode. That’ll all change on January 16, when Capcom launches Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition for the PC and PS4:
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will feature all 28 characters, including those from Season 1 and 2 – with one more from Season 2 still to be announced. For those yearning for more options, each character will receive a second V-Trigger, which will significantly change their playstyle. You may need to relearn your main or perhaps try another character, which speaks to you in a different way due to their alternate abilities. Stay tuned for more information on each character’s second V-Trigger!
As it’s our 30th anniversary year, we wanted to celebrate by making sure Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition contained a plethora of new content. True to its name, Arcade Mode is coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and will be an experience ripe with nostalgia. Furthermore, we’re adding in Extra Battle Mode, a Gallery, and completely redesigning the UI to amplify the epic quality of this new version. We have much more to share on each of these modes and more content to reveal in the future!
Current Street Fighter V players will be able to download Arcade Mode, Extra Battle Mode, and the Gallery as a free update. However, all the additional characters from Season 1 and Season 2 will remain as paid downloadable content.
