Today, Capcom confirmed the details of the content plan for Street Fighter V.
The initial game purchase will be the only disc or full game download you will ever need to own.
For the first time ever, all post-launch gameplay related content will be earnable via gameplay, totally free of charge.
According to a press release from Capcom, players will also have the option to purchase the content as soon as it’s available if they wish to do so.
Any balance and system adjustments will be available for free also.
Releasing in Spring 2016, the title will launch with a core roster of 16 characters, including 4 brand new fighters to the Street Fighter universe.
Capcom will continually add additional characters, making this the first iteration in the franchise where it’s possible for dedicated players to continue to expand on their gameplay experience without the need to purchase further titles in the series.
Street Fighter V will be released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 and PC in Spring 2016 with the first online Beta beginning on July 23rd across North America and July 24th across Europe.
