Street Fighter 5 is an upcoming fighting video game developed by Capcom for the PlayStation 4 and PC platform.

New "Street Fighter 5" details will feature new wave of DLC characters, Collector's and Steel book case editions and five year plans for the sequel.

Capcom announced that "Street Fighter 5" will have two new game edition packs: the Steel book case edition and the Collector's edition. The Steel book case edition for "Street Fighter 5" will feature the game franchise's poster boy Ryu in the cover and it will contain certain DLC features that have not yet explained by Capcom. The Steel book Edition will be available in "limited quantities" as the game edition will be headed first to Europe and possible in other countries such as the United States and Asia soon.

The Collector's edition on the other hand, will feature a copy of the game's disk, a 10-inch fully painted Ryu figure, a 48-page hardcover art book, the game's sound sampler, DLC cards, a free PlayStation Plus for 3 months and a Chun-Li Arcade Fightstick Tournament Edition 2, Gamezone reported. The "Street Fighter 5" Collector's edition will cost around $329.98 dollars in GameStop, while the standard exclusive bundle will only be $298.98.

Aside from the game edition packs Capcom also revealed a second wave of DLC characters for "Street Fighter 5" soon as game director Yoshinori Ono stated that gamers will expect five years worth of new content, features and characters.

Ono told Eurogamer that a lot of these ideas will depend on "Street Fighter 5's" launch in February next year and wanted to put more characters in the sequel, surpassing "Ultra Street Fighter 4".

"Street Fighter 5's" brand director Matt Dahlgren added that all content upgrades and balance adjustments are expected to be free for all gamers during the sequel's lifespan and will not be incorporating "Super" and "Ultra" versions of the game.

Several rumored "Street Fighter" characters are rumored to be part of the DLC line up such as Alex, Urien, Ibuki, Guile and Balrog. Other gaming fans wanted to see other fighters like Dudley, Mike Haggar, Poison, Hugo, C. Viper, Abel, Eagle and Akuma for "Street Fighter 5".

The current playable fighters are Ryu, Chun Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Birdie, Cammy White, Ken Masters, Necalli, Vega, R. Mika, Rashid, Karin Kanzuki, Zangief, Laura and Dhalsim.

"Street Fighter 5" will officially launch in Feb. 16, 2016 in North America and Feb. 18 in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms.
