‘Street Fighter V’ Latest News: Game Big Update Will See Five New Characters In 2017; Here Are The Details

A wide range of exciting games were made available by the PlayStation Experience 2016. It gave the players many things to look forward to in the following months and even years. Not resting on their accomplishments, Capcom has recently announced a trailer for a new game for "Street Fighter V." The game now includes Akuma.

The Addition of Akuma Is Confirmed

The game developer also announced that aside from Akuma, there will be another five new characters added in the game that is slated for release in 2017. A report from Game Rant said the addition of Akuma in "Street Fighter V" was confirmed by Yoshinor Ono, executive producer of the game. Ono made this confirmation at the Red Bull Battlegrounds event in early 2016.

Players were also excited during the event when the game developer gave more details about the forthcoming characters in "Street Fighter V." They said that Akuma will be added to the characters of the game by Dec. 20. His physical appearance will be more buffed and he will have in his employ a wide range of destructive tools. These include shattering combos that can defeat opponents with massive force as well as a faster footwork.

Players Fight It Out On The Wings Of A Flying Airplane

There is also a new stage released by Capcom in "Street Fighter V." The name of this stage where players can duke it out is "Skies of Honor". It is also tied to Rashid. The two protagonists will fight it out while they are on the wing of a flying airplane. This stage makes the fight more dynamic than when it is done on land.

Although this is a cool game to play, it might cause some problems to some gamers, especially those who play it competitively. Since the stage is on the wing of an airborne airplane, there will be a lot of distraction that could affect the skills of the players. Some say that it could be banned from high-profile tournaments like what happened to the Kanzuki Beach stage.
