Really, a story mode? Fuck, Yes!
In just a few weeks, Street Fight V will finally release to the public on PlayStation 4’s digital store, as well as retailers. However, Capcom has revealed some intriguing news for gamers who are still skeptical on making a purchase that will have replay value this spring.
Today, producer Yoshinori Ono has announced that Capcom will roll-out a free update this June to introduce a new single-player campaign. While he didn’t specify how long the entire campaign would be, he did assure that there would be hours of gameplay we’ll from Street Fighter III to Street Fighter IV. Take a look at full details below, plus the first ever story mode gameplay trailer.
Character Stories
We knew there would be a lot of new players who are jumping into the franchise for the very first time, so we wanted to provide a way for everyone to become familiar with the eclectic personalities of each fighter. Each character has his or her own storyline that provides background information on what drives him or her to fight, and what that fighter’s relationships are to the other characters.
Each story has been illustrated by renowned Japanese illustrator Bengus who worked on a variety of Capcom titles in the past. I think you’ll find his colorful, throwback style fits perfectly with the background tales we want to tell about each character. What answers does Ryu seek in his never-ending journey? What happened to Charlie Nash after his apparent demise in Street Fighter Alpha? Who is Necalli and what does he want? Play the Character Stories to find out all these answers and more! Once you complete all of them you’ll be ready for the next part of the story experience, which is…
Cinematic Story Expansion
For the first time in franchise history, we are creating a cinematic story experience that takes players deep into the Street Fighter action and mythology through beautifully rendered cutscenes. The Story Expansion will be available to all players as a free content update, releasing in June. Chronologically in the Street Fighter storyline, it takes place between the events of Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III, and fully explains everything that transpired in that electrifying time period.
