During the Street Fighter 5 Summer Update livestream, Capcom announced new DLC characters that will join the game's roster on PC and PlayStation 4 as part of its fifth and final season.
The studio confirmed the five fighters: the goofy Shotokan Dan, Street Fighter IV's Rose, the one-armed hermit Oro (who hasn't been playable since Street Fighter III), Akira Kazama from Rival Schools, and an unannounced fifth character. These are the five additional combatants Capcom alluded to back in May 2020. This last batch of DLC fighters make up Street Fighter 5's Season 5 content, which also includes extra stages, costumes for the additional characters, new battle balances and mechanics, and more.
