Mech Abigail and Cyberbots' Jin Saotome costumes coming to Street Fighter 5's Extra Battle, 11 costume bundles for past outfits announced
Capcom is bringing fans even more alternate costumes in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition. Two new Extra Battle Crossover outfits have been unveiled: one for Abigail and the other for Ryu.
Keeping with the "mech" theme, Abigail will see the robotic transformation next. His Extra Battle challenges will start on December 21st and run until January 17th.
Ryu's Crossover costume sees him change into Jin Saotome from Capcom game, Cyberbots. The Extra Battle challenges for Ryu's new costume will follow the conclusion of Abigail's.
Capcom has also announced 11 costume bundles featuring past alternate outfits that you may have missed. These are gathered together in themes and give players the opportunity to purchase Crossover costumes, holiday outfits, and much more.
All 11 of these costume bundles are going on sale starting tomorrow, December 11th.
Capcom is currently allowing fans to earn a handful of the previous Crossover costumes in Extra Battle: Viewtiful Joe for Rashid, June for Chun-Li, Captain Commando for Nash, Nameless Super Soldier for Guile, and Fiona for Cammy. However, if you'd prefer to purchase them with real money, you can do so with one of the upcoming bundles.

Tomorrow's update will not only make available for purchase the aforementioned costume packs, but Street Fighter 5 is set to see the addition of "sponsored content" as well. Players will be given the option to enable the viewing of in-game ads in ranked and casual matches, which will earn players more Fight Money for doing so.
On top of that, Extra Battle is set to see some balance changes that target the difficulty and replayability of some missions. The specifics have not been revealed just yet, but we believe the adjustments might focus on the gold and silver Shadaloo soldiers who can reward players with large chunks of Fight Money, but are capable of being easily cheesed out by specific moves.
If you still don't own Street Fighter 5, Capcom is giving you the opportunity to try it for free this week (December 11 - 19) on both PlayStation 4 and PC. The free trial will allow players to access all of the modes currently in Arcade Edition, all 16 of the game's launch characters, and DLC characters Guile, Akuma and Sagat — though they can only be used in Training, Challenges, Ranked, Casual Matches and Battle Lounges.
