SFV’s Last Character/Season Pass Revealed at PSX!

Capcom shared a lot of information about Street Fighter V at Sony’s PlayStation Experience. Amongst the news was the last character reveal, the pricing structure for Zenny, and what’s included in the Season Pass!

First up is F.A.N.G, the last character to be added to SFV’s starting roster. He specializes in poison and long ranged attacks to subdue foes. Adding in his ability to slip under attacks and you have a deadly fighter to contend with; makes sense seeing as how he’s Shadaloo’s second in command.

The next thing Capcom revealed was the Season Pass, which will be available for $29.99 on the PS4 (and we assume PC). The pass will contain six extra characters: Alex, Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Juri and Urien. What’s interesting is the fact that gamers will be able to unlock these characters using in-game money. This “fight money” is obtained by completing various challenges, making one question the need for a pass.

Players can also purchase Zenny using real money to unlock their favorite fighters. There’s been no word on how much Zenny a character will cost, though Capcom did share what some of the purchase options were:

•    100 Zenny = Purchase for $0.99 / €0.99 / £0.79
•    550 Zenny = Purchase for $4.99/€4.99/£3.99 (receive a 50 Zenny bonus)
•    1200 Zenny = Purchase for $9.99/€9.99/£7.99 (receive a 200 Zenny bonus)
•    4000 Zenny = Purchase for $29.99/ €29.99/£24.99 (receive a 1000 Zenny bonus)

I can understand using the Pass if you don’t want to wait to play as the new fighters but the Zenny confuses things. Why not just let players buy the single characters out right instead of converting their money into a random currency? And will the presence of fight money and Zenny negate the usefulness of the pass? We’ll have to wait and see I guess.

Street Fighter V will be released on the PS4 and PC on February 16th 2016. Check back here for more SF news!
