Capcom Teams with Lupe Fiasco to Announce Street Fighter V’s Second Season 2 DLC Character

At long last, we’re finally going to know more about the Street Fighter V season 2 cast! Teaming up with rapper Lupe Fiasco, the announcement of the second DLC character will come at the launch party of his new album: Drogas Light.

The event–which will be held on February 15th in San Francisco at the Folsom Street Foundry–will be a celebration of both Lupe’s music and of Street Fighter as well. Not only will the character reveal be held there, but there will also be exhibition matches, a cosplay contest, and an eight-person Street Fighter V tournament which will feature Liquid|NuckleDu and EG|Ricki Ortiz.

The event is free to enter (ages 18 and up), so if you want to be in the crowd for it, make sure you’re there early! Additional event details can be seen on Capcom-Unity.
