Capcom has announced that Street Fighter V update 1.04 will be available for PlayStation 4 and PC at 12am PT/3am ET/8am BST tomorrow, July 1.
Before the new update, Street Fighter V will undergo 10 hours of server maintenance beginning today at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm BST. The maintenance will end when the update goes live at 12am PT/3am ET/8am BST.
One of the biggest additions with update 1.04 is support for the Cinematic Story Expansion, which needs to be downloaded separately from the PlayStation Store. A 7.6GB file, it’s called A Shadow Falls and carries this description:
The Street Fighter V cinematic story expansion is divided into five acts and takes place between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III, bridging the events that happen in between the two stories. “A Shadow Falls,” depicts the ultimate battle between the evil Shadaloo organization and the heroic World Warriors who rise up against them. As the story unfolds, players will enter battles using each of the core 16 characters, in addition to the 6 (released and unreleased) 2016 DLC characters, each with their own unique contribution to the epic clash. “A Shadow Falls” is free downloadable content available to all players and it marks the first time in franchise history that consumers will be able to play through this type of cinematic experience in a Street Fighter game. The epic battle between good and evil begins soon… who will RISE UP?
Update 1.04 itself will include playable fighters Balrog and Ibuki, as well as everything you see below:
- New stages – Balrog’s Las Vegas stage and Karin’s Kanzuki Family Private Beach stage are brand new and will be available to purchase using Fight Money or real currency. Additionally, three new alternate stage options will become available.
- New costume options – Premium Battle Costumes for all 20 released characters, as well as Karin’s Premium Summer Costume, will be available to purchase using real currency. Balrog and Ibuki’s Story Costumes will be purchasable using either Fighter Money or real currency.
- In-game Currency Shop – The in-game store will be upgraded with the PlayStation Store and Steam real money purchase options, for their respective platform. For players who want to purchase content like new characters, stages and costumes outright without using Fight Money, the process will be familiar with purchases happening through the established first party infrastructures.
- Matchmaking improvements – Faster and smarter matching, resulting in higher quality matches and a better online experience overall.
New characters will cost 100,000 Fight Money or $ 5.99/€ 5.99/£4.99, while new stages will cost 70,000 Fight Money or $3.99/€3.99/£3.29.
If you don’t own Street Fighter V yet, it’s currently on sale in the North American PlayStation Store’s Mid-Year Sale.

10 Games That Are Scary For the Wrong Reasons

10 Games That Are Scary for the Wrong Reasons
-
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Gearbox was too busy using SEGA's funds on Borderlands 2 to make a solid game in Aliens: Colonial Marines. This train wreck of a game is filled with glitches, poor artificial intelligence, and the terrifying revelation that you spent your money on this garbage.
-
Assassin's Creed Unity
While not everyone encountered the terrifying glitches in Assassin's Creed Unity, the unlucky ones that did couldn't stop talking about it. And who could blame them? They wanted to play a fun game about murdering fools, and instead got traumatized by broken character models that were missing faces.
-
Bubsy 3D
Bubsy 3D has only gotten more infamous as time has passed (largely thanks to Arcane Kids). This terribly designed 3D platformer plays and looks like someone pulled out the disc while the PlayStation was running. It's hard to believe that the developer would later go on to make Syphon Filter (although the running animation is equally terrifying).
-
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Surely a game based off AMC's hit TV show, The Walking Dead, would be based off the inner tension between survivors and what made the show good for one whole season. Well, guess again, as The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is rubbish printed on a Blu-ray disc.
-
Duke Nukem Forever
Duke Nukem Forever was like the time that you realized that your uncle, who you thought was totally cool when you were 12, never grew up, and was actually lame. Both the characters, and the gameplay, found in Duke Nukem Forever should've stayed in the 90s. Some memories are best kept repressed.
-
Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust features some of the scariest character models ever made. We're not even sure who mapped these characters, but none of them look remotely human. Throw in gameplay that is somehow worse than the combat that Silent Hill attempts to incorporate, and you have one hideous mess of a game.
-
Ride to Hell: Retribution
Oh, Ride to Hell: Retribution. The Deep Silver published action game is in some ways an avant-garde classic. Few publishers try something as risky as releasing a game that is completely broken, after all. If you do attempt to play through this game, you can look forward to some pretty spectacular jump scares. All of which find you falling through the world as the graphics suddenly disappear in front of your eyes.
-
Sonic the Hedgehog
I still can't believe that Sega chose to turn a story that was suspiciously similar to my Sonic fan-fiction into a full video game in 2006. While the game was full of glitches, the most scary part of the game ended up being a romantic scene. The interspecies erotica between Sonic and Princess Elise shouldn't be viewed by anyone, and still gives gamers nightmares to this day.
-
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
The most recent release featured on the list is certainly a sad one. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 should've been a triumphant moment, instead gamers got to see Lil' Wayne glitch in and out of levels, and other bizarre occurrences that seem straight out of Paranormal Activity.
-
NBA Elite 11
While all the other games on this list were poorly made, they at least saw a release. NBA Elite 11 on the other hand got cancelled AFTER the game had already been printed onto discs. The shocking cancellation was due to the disturbing glitch where the Lakers' Andrew Bynum would act as if he was crucified at mid-court. Some say that Bynum's ghost still haunts the Staples Center.
