New details for "Street Fighter 5" will feature new DLC characters for next year and Shin Akuma teased in the sequel.
Capcom confirmed that Akuma will be joining the roster of "Street Fighter 5" as a DLC character during the PlayStation Experience 2016 event on Dec. 3- 4. However, rumors are making rounds regarding Akuman being a more powerful fighter in the sequel.
According to EventHubs, the kanji on Akuma's now says "god-like," and could even insinuate a more powerful being. The publiscation theorized that Akuma could be Shin Akuma from "Capcom vs. SNK 2". This could also mean that upon the activation of the V-trigger, the character could then become the aforementioned all-powerful being, which poses quite the force for the other characters in "Street Fighter 5".
Akuma will also be appearing in Bandai Namco's fighting game series, "Tekken 7" as a playable character. Akuma will be fighting into the Mishima family conflict against Heihachi as he repays the debt he owes to Kaizumi Mishimia, Heihachi's wife and Kazuya's mother.
Meanwhile, Capcom will likely released a new batch of DLC characters for "Street Fighter 5" next year.
The first batch of DLC fighters include Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri and Urien. The second DLC characters are rumored to be eight in total as characters like C. Viper, Sagat, Sodom, Q, Rose, Abel and Oro.
Reddit username SUPERVERITECH pointed out that particular person was spotted at a movie billboard in London named "Secret Delta".
The character's name Eisbahn, which means "ice rink" in German and he is wearing a hoodie and appears to have ice powers. Eisbahn's appearance in the billboard is not only a means to promote the movie but it is possible that it was a tease for the new DLC characters coming to "Street Fighter 5".
Another thing that gamers are looking forward to in "Street Fighter 5" will be the "Arcade Mode" as NeoFighters username LeonX teased gaming fans by posting the prototype of the said game mode along with new Daily Challenges.
These new daily challenges in "Street Fighter 5" will contain various timed missions such as within story and survival modes. Gamers can also choose to join a battle lounge mission where they can earn rewards. Match challenges and fight requests are also available under varying difficulty modes.
"Street Fighter 5" is currently available for the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms.
