A new Street Fighter V update is set to release on May 30th.
This new update will include two stages. The new stage will be the remastered Spain stages that first appeared in Street Fighter II. Naturally Vega will be able to climb the fence and come down with a slash. The Thailand stage will be making a return. Previously the Thailand stage was removed because it used a religious chant in the soundtrack. Each stage will cost $3.99 or 70,000 Fight Money.
The new Capcom Fighter Network will also be rolling out with this update. Those who played the most recent Street Fighter V CFN beta will already be familiar with the new features. For those who didn’t player the beta, a few changes include rage quit penalty system, improved matchmaking times, a friend management system, and the ability to save training mode settings. Full details on the CFN can be seen here.
New fighter Ed will also become available with the update. Ed is described as a “Psycho Power” infused boxer who was experimented on to be the replacement body for M. Bison. Ed can be bought for $5.99 or 1000, 000 Fight Money and is included in the Season 2 Character Pass.
