On
the first day of EVO '17, Capcom dropped some Street Fighter V
announcements which are sure to please old school fans. First off, classic
costumes for Alex, Ibuki and Juri will finally be added to the game on
July 25th ($3.99 each). Ryu's classic SF2 stage "Suzaku
Castle" is also coming to SFV, along with a new Capcom Pro
Tour stage called "Ring of Pride". Last but not least, Capcom
shared a screenshot of a new stage based on Abigail's stage from Final
Fight (1989). This is a strong indication that the next DLC character
for SFV is indeed Abigail.
Scroll down to see all of the new Street Fighter V images. We'll
update this article throughout the weekend.
And below are screens of the new Capcom Pro Tour 2017 stage called "Ring of
Pride", along with a new Guile costume co-designed by Capcom Cup 2016
winner, Du "NuckleDu" Dang. The Guile costume will cost $5.99
(also included in the Capcom Pro Tour 2017 Premier Pass) and the Ring of
Pride stage will set you back $9.99. Both of these DLCs will release on
July 25th.
Last but not least,
old school Capcom fans should immediately recognize the environment
pictured in the teaser SFV screenshot below. This updated take on Abigail's stage
from Final Fight looks to be the perfect backdrop to reintroduce
the boss of Metro City's Bay Area.
[UPDATE]
Abigail has been
officially confirmed for SFV. Check out Abigail's reveal
trailer, screenshots, V-Trigger details, story artwork, movelist and
more!
