Updated trials are coming to Street Fighter V, according to datamined evidence

Street Fighter V’s trials may be getting a long-overdue update to match the current build.

Since Season 2 first made its significant changes to Street Fighter V, the trial mode has been outdated, left running in the game’s Season 1 state. However, it seems that we may soon see a refresh to these obsolete trials, as either an addition or replacement, to match the upcoming balance patch.

In the video below, VesperArcade discusses the new combo trials–datamined by X-Kira, and now with video evidence posted to YouTube–and how they appear to be slightly more difficult to perform, but more optimal in terms of gameplay application. The videos for the datamined trials can be found here. When–or even if–these will be integrated into Street Fighter V officiallyhas not yet been revealed.

Brainiac arrives for the final chapter of Injustice 2’s Shattered Alliances this Thursday

We’re a mere 28 days away from the release of Injustice 2, so NetherRealm Studios’ hype train is continuing at full speed ahead. While we’ve recently seen the official gameplay trailer for the Society’s Poison Ivy–who will be the recipient of a full character breakdown alongside Catwoman and a third yet-to-be-named character, on the next Watchtower livestream sometime this week–we do have a concrete release date on the next piece of content: specifically the next Shattered Alliances story trailer.

The final chapter, focusing on Brainiac, will be released this Thursday according to the Injsutice Twitter account. While we’ve seen a few in-game screenshots of the character, after he was unveiled as the narrator of “The Lines Redrawn” trailer, in addition to being the game’s new lead antagonist (and likely final boss), we haven’t seen any form of gameplay from the Collector of Worlds. This trailer will hopefully provide us with a taste, along with a larger look at his role within the game’s Story Mode, as the battle for power between the Insurgency, Regime and Society rages on. You can see the official tweet below, along with a new piece of artwork for Brainiac.

If you’re craving more information, check out Heat Vision’s interview with Tom Taylor about the Injustice 2 comic book here, the Multiverse Mode that was revealed at the Insomnia Gaming Festival, and don’t forget that the next character will be revealed on April 28th!
