Video game publisher and developer Capcom has promised to reveal a new character tomorrow for its fighting game on the PC and PlayStation 4, Street Fighter 5.
Capcom confirmed the news about tomorrow’s character reveal for Street Fighter 5 in a tweet today, but it didn’t give fans any additional details as to who might be making their way onto the game’s roster. Still, Capcom went on to announce that it will also premiere a new song from rapper Lupe Fiasco’s new album, Drogas Light, tomorrow as well in order to promote the release of his record this Friday, February 10.
For those unfamiliar, not only Lupe Fiasco is a huge video game fan, but also an avid Street Fighter 5 player as well, with the rapper beating Daigo Umehara – a professional arcade fighting video game player – in a friendly match about a year ago. Having said that, perhaps Capcom will partner with Lupe tomorrow to make the new character reveal for Street Fighter 5 by debuting the new song alongside the fresh roster pick in a trailer, but right now that kind of claim is just speculation.
The last character to make their way into Street Fighter 5’s cast was the series’ infamous villain Akuma, who brought his fierce fighting tactics to the game back in December of last year. As it turns out, Akuma was given a major debut by way of a gameplay trailer at PlayStation Experience 2016, with Capcom reassuring fans that five more characters are on the way for 2017, which lead to many theorizing as to who the initial reveal will be. What’s interesting is that some have offered bits of conjecture that the ice-powered Helen (AKA Street Fighter 3’s Kolin), will be the first character revealed in 2017.
Street Fighter 5 is out now for PC and PlayStation 4.
