  • Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Announced, Featuring 40 Fighters And New V-Skills

    Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Announced, Featuring 40 Fighters And New V-Skills

    Street Fighter V will get a new iteration, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, on February 14 2020. This new version of the game will include every single piece of DLC released previously with the exception of the Fighting Chance, Capcom Pro Tour and brand collaboration costumes that have released so far, plus some new content. This edition will be available for $29.99, or current owners of Street Fighter V can buy an upgrade kit, available on PS4 and PC for $24.99, at an earlier date.

    Street Fighter V: Champion Edition will include all 34 stages and over 200 costumes that have been introduced since Street Fighter V launched in 2016, as well as new V-Skills for every single character (which will be made available for owners of any version of the game.) A balance update and new “gameplay improvements” have also been promised.

    Champion Edition boosts the fighter count up to 40, with the addition of a new fighter: Gill, the antagonist of Street Fighter III. A character trailer has been released to show off his iconic red-and-blue design (to represent fire and ice,) and how his attacks translate to the latest Street Fighter. “Typically plotting behind the scenes, he is now ready to reveal himself to the world, as he sets out to fulfill the prophecy that the Secret Society has coveted since ancient times,” the description on the trailer reads. You’ll be able to nab him through the upgrade kit from December, and he’ll bring the “Sun Chase Moon” stage with him.

    Anyone who preorders Champion Edition in the US will unlock a new choice of costume color for each fighter. Gill, like previous DLC fighters, can be purchased or earned in-game. New Christmas themed DLC is also heading to the game from today, bringing new costumes for G, Lucia and Poison, and later this month a new stage called Holly Jolly Beatdown will be made available as well–it’s Abigail’s auto shop, but snowed in.

    No Caption Provided

    We gave the Arcade Edition of Street Fighter V a 9/10 in our review, with critic Tamoor Hussain writing that “two years after its launch, Street Fighter V is finally fighting fit.”

  • Google Stadia Will Now Launch With 22 Games

    Google Stadia is right around the corner, with the system launching on November 19. Google recently announced the system’s launch titles, along with the other games coming in 2019. It was a thin list, with only one console exclusive (Gylt), which had some potential customers concerned. Thankfully for early adopters of the new machine, the launch line-up has been expanded, with many titles that were due at some point in 2019 now arriving on day one.

    The news was announced by Google vice president Phil Harrison, who thanked the developers and publishers who worked to prepare their games for the system’s release.

    Excited to announce that we are INCREASING the Day One launch line-up of titles for @GoogleStadia – we now have TWENTY TWO games launching with the platform on Tuesday. Huge thank you to our game developer and publisher partners for bringing more titles #stadia

    — Phil Harrison (@MrPhilHarrison) November 18, 2019

    These are the 12 games initially announced for the Stadia launch, which are still coming on day one:

    And now, here are ten more games that will now release on November 19 alongside the new system:

    Borderlands 3, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 and Darksiders Genesis are also due before the end of the year. Darksiders Genesis will release on December 5, the same day as the PC version, making it a console exclusive to Stadia for about three months (it launches on PS4, Xbox One and Switch on February 14, 2020.)

    To find out more about what to expect from Google Stadia’s impending launch, be sure to check out our unboxing of the new system. We know that it’ll launch with several missing features that will be added over time.

    Full US Trailer for Makoto Shinkai’s Animation ‘Weathering With You’

    Weathering With You Trailer

    “She really was the sunshine girl!” GKids Films has debuted a final full-length official trailer (with English subtitles) for the Japanese animation film titled Weathering With You, the highly anticipated next film from writer/director Makoto Shinkai, who achieved worldwide acclaimed with the beloved animated film Your Name. This first premiered in North America at TIFF earlier this fall, now opening in US theaters in January. Weathering with You is another original film from Shinkai, featuring some stunningly gorgeous animation. The Japanese title is actually Tenki no ko, which translates to Child of Weather, as the film is about a young man who moves to Tokyo and befriends a girl who can manipulate the weather (she has the power to stop the rain and clear the sky so the sun can shine). The original Japanese version features the voices of Kotaro Daigo & Nana Mori. It’s another lovely, whimsical Japanese film that I do recommend. ›››

  • Dying Light 2 Release Window Not Narrowed to June 2020

    Clashing with E3?

    Update: GamesIndustry.biz has now updated its interview with Koch Media’s CEO, removing a reference to a Dying Light 2 release date of June 2020. It now simply reads: “It’s distributing Dying Light 2 when it launches next year.” Because of that, the game is now still slated for a Spring 2020 launch.

    Original Story: Dying Light 2 is very much on course to hit its Spring 2020 launch window, we learnt as much during our EGX 2019 interview with lead game designer Tymon Smektala, but it looks like that date has just been narrowed even further. The game is supposedly planning on releasing in the month of June 2020.

    Halo Reach Set To Drop Into The Master Chief Collection In December

    Click here to watch embedded media

    Halo fans got good news today as 343 Industries Community Director Brian Jarrard announced the long-awaited Halo Reach will launch on Xbox One and PC starting December 3.

    Bungie’s last foray into the Halo series takes place before the events of the first game and follows a group of Spartans attempting to stave off the Covenant’s forces and, subsequently, the planet’s ruin.

    Upgraded with 4K visuals, Halo Reach’s release marks the completion of the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Unfortunately though, PC fans will have to wait a bit longer to have every Halo game in their Steam libraries. Starting with Halo Reach, each game in the Master Chief Collection will eventually make its way to PC before the end of 2020.

    Want more X019 news? Be sure to check out all the new games announced today including Grounded, Everwild, Tell Me Why and all the other games coming to Game Pass.
