Street Fighter V will add five new fighters in its next season

Capcom has announced it will release a fifth Season of content for Street Fighter V.

In an announcement published on Wednesday, the publisher said that it would add five new fighters and three new stages to the game.

“We know our players are wondering what’s next for Street Fighter V, so we have some exciting news to share,” it wrote on its official website.

“Due to the positive reception to Season 4 and Champion Edition, we are planning to do a final Season ‘V’, which will add ‘V’ more fighters to the roster. Three new stages are also being planned.

“That’s all for now, but we’ll be back later this summer to share more details regarding the new content coming to Street Fighter V.”

Championship Edition, the second update to the core Street Fighter V game, was released in February and includes all fighters, stages and most costumes added through the game’s fourth season.

The release also saw the addition of Seth, the ‘King of Chaos’ and a boss character from Street Fighter IV, who became the game’s 40th character.

Last year Tekken series lead Katsuhiro Harada questioned whether there’s a place in the market for the long-awaited Tekken X Street Fighter given the continued success of the most recent series entries, Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V.
