By now, most of us know that many of the official Street Fighter 5 character art pieces feature backdrops that reflect actual stages in-game. What's interesting, though, is that some characters are seen standing in front of backgrounds that aren't playable in Street Fighter 5.


This has led to speculation that some of this scenery will make its way into the game in the form of extra stages down the road. Street Fighter 5's in-game shop tells us that there will indeed be more backdrops for players to enjoy, and we've also heard from Capcom that season pass holders will be given an all new stage as a thanks for purchasing.

All of that having been said, EventHubs user Jookey recently spotted something interesting on Steam. Apparently, some of the rewards you can pick up from SF5's trading cards include profile backgrounds.

As you would expect, these backgrounds come from the official character artwork, and we get to see them without the character included for the first time. On Steam, they are specifically listed as "stages," and there's one for R. Mika, Ryu, and F.A.N.G -- all backdrops not found in the actual game.

Whether these will eventually be added into Street Fighter 5 as extra stages is still unknown. However, we do know that Capcom intends to add more and these are the only potential hints at what new stages might look like.

Do you think these backdrops will be added into Street Fighter 5? Let us know in the comments below.
