Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition has been announced by Capcom today, which will release on January 18, 2018. Arcade edition brings a highly requested game mode to the game along with many other features.

First of all, the game will release with all 28 characters which also includes characters from season one and two. Capcom also hinted at another character being announced soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. To spice things up, the developers have added an additional V-Trigger for each character which you can select before each match. Details on this new feature will be announced at a later time.

With this edition being titled Arcade Edition, there must be the fan requested game mode-Arcade Mode. Due to the game reaching it’s 30th anniversary, the developers plan on “making sure it’ll be an experience rather than just a mode.” Many features within the game such as the user interface, V-Trigger moves, and the gallery have been overhauled to make the game the best it can be.

For those who own the game already, you are in for a special surprise. If you play Street Fighter V already, you will receive an in-game update completely free. No additional purchases are needed to receive all of this content. If you don’t own this game already, then you can pick up the arcade edition for $39.99.

This announcement was made today after being leaked on Amazon earlier. The leak revealed many of the additions as stated above, but with little detail. We now know we can get our hands on this arcade edition in just a few short months.
