Unlockable Street Fighter V Colors Coming to In-Game Shop

Up until now, the only method to unlock additional colors in Street Fighter V has been to complete Survival mode on varying difficulties (color 3 for easy mode, colors 4, 5 and 6 for normal mode, and colors 7, 8, 9, and 10 for hard mode). On paper it sounds harmless enough, but in application the grueling CPU difficulty in later stages, inconsistent stat bonuses between rounds, and the fact that you’re required to play through all three difficulty settings to get all the colors (and do it over again for each alternate costume) meant that a lot of the playerbase has just been sticking to options 1 and 2.

The official Street Fighter Twitter recently dropped some news that’s sure to have players, spectators and tournament organizers alike celebrating–there’s an alternative in the works! Bundles of colors 3-10 for each character will be for sale on the PSN and Steam stores. You’ll also be able to pick them up in the in-game shop with your hard-earned fight money. There are no details regarding a release date, pricing, or the ability to pick and choose which colors you’d like to buy at the moment, but we may hear something during the Street Fighter V panel at San Diego Comic Con this weekend.
