Street Fighter V Update Hints at Another Beta Phase

When phase 3 of Street Fighter V’s beta took place last December, many assumed it would be to last time they’d get to play the game before its February 2016 launch. However, a new update to the beta client seems to hint that we may yet get another, unannounced beta phase.

The PlayStation 4 version of Street Fighter V has been updated with a massive 3.2 gigabyte patch. The notes for this update, which you can see below, only state that this is an “Overall renewal for next Beta Test.” In addition to this, we’ve received reports that the PC client on Steam has been updated as well.

Back at the San Diego Comic-Con in June, Capcom announced that Street Fighter V would have only three beta phases. This update hinting at a 4th beta phase comes as a pleasant surprise, especially for those suffering from withdrawal after the last beta phase ended.

Arc System Works Releases BlazBlue: Central Fiction Act2 Opening Cinematic

At the end of last year, Arc System Works teased BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s upcoming Act2 update with a short video. This update to the game promises access to Speed Star Mode, a casual play option allowing players to test their skills against throngs of enemies to see how many they can defeat in a set period of time, as well as offering several quality of life changes for training mode, progression in the game’s story and plenty more.

Yesterday, the game’s official opening cinematic released, and we’ve included it below. As expected, the video offers viewers a look at bits of the story, some short segments of gameplay and runs through a sort of dramatis personae all while bumping upbeat music.

BlazBlue: Central Fiction Act2 is set to release at the end of January.
