At the end of last night's Capcom Cup, the Japanese publisher revealed what's in store for season 3 of Street Fighter V. Alongside the Arcade Edition, which arrives on the 16th January, the game's third season will add a total of six new characters to the playable roster.
Launching together with the aforementioned Arcade Edition, Sakura returns to the fray in all of her excitable glory. After that, players can look forward to series veteran Blanka, Falke, Cody, G, and, last but certainly not least, Sagat.
All six fighters are part of the title's season 3 character pass, but as always, you'll be able to purchase them individually as they release. Of course, if spending real cash isn't your thing, then you'll want to start saving that in-game fight money.
Check out Arcade Edition's fresh opening cinematic above, and then let us know who you're looking forward to playing most in the comments section below.

I wonder how much fight money the arcade mode gives?
I really like this game, shame the way that capcom published.
Come January it looks like Street Fighter V will finally be worth that 9 it got on here. Joking aside I'm seriously considering getting this now and will have to get Blanka and Sagat, speaking of which you said either pay real money or in game currency? How easy are they to unlock then?
that trailer made me wanna play SFV again
@JoeBlogs thanks for that, given how cheap the game is these days I may just buy the pass anyway but it's good to know I can get a couple of characters without too much trouble
Is the arcade mode like sf2 arcade mode? With plane flying and all. I see the flying plane on sfv sakura trailer.
I hope Arcade mode nets fight money.
Blanka is the character I wanted to come back. I could care less if Sagat made the cut or not.
@3MonthBeef A new character
I am still waiting for them to discount the Season 2 pass. It has not been discounted yet. As for fight money... It requires way much grinding.
As for the Season 3 I really like the characters. I may get it on release.
Hell yeah for Blanka!!!! I hope people end up getting arcade edition because it's a great fighting game but also if it doesn't sell Capcom will just interpret it as "Well I guess people didn't really want arcade after all".
Saaakkuuurrraaa! One of my mains! Love that shes grown up. In her bio it says she graduated highschool and now works part time at an arcade!
And falke and G are both brans new. They dont excite me much yet but we'll see. Im excited to try blanka and sagat as well.
Miss my main Makoto though. Hopefully next season
Already sold SF5 for €20. Im sure if they released the complete edition straight away that they would have sold way more.
Between this and the 30th anniversary collection, next year looks good for Street Fighter.
It's nice to see some new and returning characters as well, though I gotta ask what's with Cody? I'm not against a sharply dressed man, but that look is so unlike him.
Blanka! Nice surprise and Sakura is always good!
This is a joke or isn't it? Sagat is not in Street Fighter V already? What?
