If there was one piece of Street Fighter V news that everyone was waiting for Capcom to drop at the Tokyo Game Show 2016, it was the release date for Season One’s final DLC character, Urien. It seems that in this regard, Capcom did not disappoint!
During the Capcom Channel livestream for TGS, Capcom finally announced the release date for the Urien will be September 22, 2016. That’s right, the metal-skinned Illuminati lord is officially coming to Street Fighter V next Thursday!
Urien isn’t the only thing coming in on the 22nd, however! As detailed on the updated Capcom-Unity blog, the upcoming patch will also add in new stage transitions for many of the game’s stages. We’ve covered these before, as intrepid dataminers on PC have been able to find their animations. However, with the update we’ll finally get to see them working properly in-game.
For a quick sample of this, Sea has shared a short clip from the TGS stream of the Kanzuki Stage left side transition (including the samurai helmet that falls on the defeated opponents head) on Twitter.

And that’s not nearly all. As promised, we’re also getting the daily challenges, a vs. CPU mode, and–at long last–the statistic-tracking function in the Fighter Profiles. Premium costumes will now have their additional colors unlocked, and the colors formerly only unlockable through Survival Mode will be available for purchase as well–and last but not least, a slew of bug fixes and balance changes. For all the details on this massive update, check the full breakdown on Capcom-Unity!
