Month: June 2016

Capcom has provided some major details for Street Fighter V’s highly anticipated June update, including new information on DLC characters and store pricing. All six of the downloadable characters included in the game’s season pass will be playable in the game’s story mode, according to the blog post on Capcom-Unity.

The SFV Story Expansion is said to be three to four hours long and will bridge the gap between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III. Titled, “A Shadow Falls,” the story will follow the cast as they battle against M. Bison and the forces of Shadaloo in a five chapter arc.

While fans expected the release of Ibuki alongside the June update, Urien, Balrog and Juri will also be playable within story mode. Players will still need to wait a few months for the full release of the latter three characters, but the news should come as a welcome surprise to those excited to test out these upcoming additions!

 

Additionally, Capcom has finally detailed the pricing for the game’s premium content, which also includes a decision to bypass the whole Zenny idea and stick to regular money. New characters will cost 100,000 Fight Money, or $5.99, while new stages will cost 70,000 Fight Money or $3.99. Alternate versions of stages, such as the daytime Kanzuki Estate, will cost 40,000 Fight Money, or $1.99.

Premium costumes, which had previously only been available as pre-order bonuses, will be sold for $3.99 each and cannot be purchased with Fight Money. For those unwilling to play through story mode, the characters’ Story Costumes will now be sold for $1.99 or 40,000 Fight Money as well.

Those in need of some extra fight money for the upcoming content can score it through the new Story Mode. Completion on Normal Mode will yield 30,000 and unlock a harder difficulty. Completing the story a second time on Extra Mode will provide a total of 80,000 FM, enough for a new stage.

Looking beyond the June update, Capcom will also be working to implement new single player modes, Extra Battle and standard Versus CPU. An altered daily challenge feature called Targets which will allow players to earn Fight Money by achieving preset goals.

There’s still no set release date for Street Fighter V’s June update but be sure to stay tuned to SRK for the latest.
