Capcom has released a major new update for Street Fighter V that includes a ton of new content, including the highly-anticipated cinematic story mode titled “A Shadow Falls” as well as the next two characters to join the roster: Ibuki and Balrog.
As Capcom noted, the story mode will be available to all players as free content, and all released post-launch characters can be purchased using in-game earned Fight Money or real currency.
The Street Fighter V cinematic story expansion is divided into five acts and takes place between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III, bridging the events that happen in between the two stories.
“A Shadow Falls,” depicts the ultimate battle between the evil Shadaloo organization and the heroic World Warriors who rise up against them. As the story unfolds, players will enter battles using each of the core 16 characters, in addition to the 6 (released and unreleased) 2016 DLC characters, each with their own unique contribution to the epic clash.
“A Shadow Falls” is free downloadable content available to all players and it marks the first time in franchise history that consumers will be able to play through this type of cinematic experience in a Street Fighter game.
In order to celebrate this announcement, Capcom released two new trailers for Street Fighter V that can be viewed below!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Story was a lot better then I imagined it would be. I will leave it at that.
Now this is encouraging to hear. I’d never gotten round to actually getting this game. I think it’s worth another look in its current iteration
Still no arcade or vs cpu modes?
still a bless that they released this man … let’s enjoy what we have while we wait for kof xiv and tekken7 :3
Wait for Ultra Street Fighter V Or Super Street Fighter V… Win10 + Denuvo, Intel Xeon, 32gb Ram, nVedia GTX 1080 8gb Minimum…
RIP Sagat
Ono’s been teasing, perhaps we’ll seem him on the 2nd season’s roster?
This game is fantastic, it doesn’t need arcade mode, single player or any of that garbage some people are whining about. Evo numbers are WAY up thanks to this game, and the FGC seems to love it. I just wish Dudley was on the roster.
Yeah, pander to a tiny, tiny demographic of EVO players or wannabe EVO players. That’s a recipe for success. >_>
Still not getting this until they put in an arcade mode. WTH is wrong with Capcom, anyways?
