Street Fighter V DLC will be unlockable for free

At EVO 2015 in Las Vegas last weekend, Capcom has confirmed the first brand new fighter to join the Street Fighter V roster, and outlined the plan for future content releases.

Possessing a wide variety of savage and close range attacks, the new character is named Necalli. Making full use of the Battle System mechanics, Necalli’s V-Skill allows him to pound the ground with both fists, creating an explosion that damages the enemy whereas the powerful V-Trigger allows him to channel energy that changes his hair colour and alters his personality for a short period of time.

As for the post-launch support, 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. 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 for the PlayStation 4 and PC in Spring 2016. A PS4 online Beta will begin later this week.
