Same game for life
In addition to the above statement, Capcom had recently said that they will make new characters available free when released. Granted not all the new characters will be ready all at once but will be released little by little over time just like most DLC’s these days. The way you can get these new characters is by using in-game current labeled “Fight Money”. Yes, fight money…its funny and fitting at the same time. In case the player doesn’t have enough fight money to buy the new characters and doesn’t feel like grinding, they can use real life money and turn it into “Zenny” which is premium in-game money to buy the characters.
Capcom had also went on to say that at launch, 16 characters will be playable including 12 returning characters such as Ryo and Chun-Li, and 4 brand new characters like the recently revealed Necalli. This is big news for the Street Fighter Series as now no one has to buy new versions of the game to play with new characters, new stages and etc. What a HUGE relief.
No specific dates have been announced for the DLC characters and no price for the money conversion has been announced. Street Fighter V is set for release early 2016 and the beta goes live July 23rd for those who pre-order the game.
