My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

During EVO 2013 , Capcom surprised fans with news about the game Street Fighter IV , revealed directly during their panel at the event. After all, when it comes to updates in the franchise, expectations are always high — and this time was no different.

First, the company confirmed that five characters will be present in the next update. Rolento, Elena, Hugo, and Poison, who are already well-known to fans, return with their distinctive styles and unique abilities. However, the most intriguing announcement came with the revelation of a fifth character, completely new, who has never appeared in any other game in the series before.

In addition to the fighters, the update will also include six new stages , offering a greater variety of scenarios for the battles. As reported by Capcom, the content will be available for $15 PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms .

Street Fighter IV update to be revealed at the tournament finals

Capcom has stated that it will reveal the official name of this update during the grand finale of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition , scheduled for this Sunday, July 14th , at EVO 2013.

Therefore, fans of the franchise and competitive players already have a good reason to follow the tournament's outcome with even more attention. Eventually, new information should emerge early next year, as promised by the developer. Thus, we can expect more surprises to come.
