Capcom Announces Ultra Street Fighter IV

Over the weekend at EVO 2013, Capcom announced Ultra Street Fighter IV for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Five new characters and six new stages have been added, with rebalanced gameplay and original modes topping off this ultimate offering.

In Ultra Street Fighter IV, Poison, Hugo, Elena, Rolento and a secret all-new playable character join the fight, complete with new animations and their own unique play styles, bringing the current roster count to 44 characters. Six new battle environments (including Pitstop 109, Cosmic Elevator, Half Pipe and more) provide a backdrop to the action. Further details on the new modes and gameplay features will be announced in the coming months.

Owners of Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition will be able to download the title as a $14.99 digital upgrade. Users who purchase the retail or full download version of the game for $39.99 will receive all previous costume DLC released for the series (a $40 value).

Ultra Street Fighter IV is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in early 2014.
