The latest Capcom Unity blog was released this morning and shares new details on when to expect Street Fighter 5 Season 2's next DLC fighter.


According to the entry, the second DLC character for Season 2 will be released later this month. More information on the character will be unveiled next week.

In order to celebrate the new fighter's arrival, the beginning of the Capcom Pro Tour 2017, and Lupe Fiasco's upcoming album, DROGAS Light, Capcom and Lupe have joined forces to hold a special launch party. On February 15th, fans can attend the free event (first come, first served) at the Folsom Street Foundry in San Fransisco, California -- the same venue where the BST|Daigo vs. Lupe Fiasco Street Fighter 5 launch event took place a year ago.

Here is the event flyer.
