"Street Fighter V" is going to get several Halloween-themed costumes and stages, but it will only be available for a limited time, from October to early November. These downloadable content (DLC) can be purchased with real money or with Fight Money, the in-game currency earned by simply playing the game.
Capcom announced on their official site that the stage theme is a variation of the Russian stage, and it will feature zombie Cossack dancers, gravestones, and numerous jack-o-lanterns. The fighting stage will cost $1.99 if purchased with real money, but it can also be attained by exchanging 40,000 Fight Money.
As for the costumes, there will be a total of seven Halloween costumes available. These costumes will be for Juri, Vega, Ryu, Cammy, Charlie, Necalli, and Alex. Each costume will come with color variants 1 to 10 and will cost $3.99 each.
The special Halloween DLC is only going to be available from Oct. 11 to Nov. 29, and they will be available for both the PlayStation 4 version and the PC version via Steam.
As noted on a report by VG 24/7, this is likely just the beginning of the Halloween DLC packs as it is speculated that a few more will come, allowing all of the playable fighters in "Street Fighter V" to have a Halloween costume. Additional Halloween stages are also expected as the one currently available is only a variant of the Russian stage.
The official site does not reveal if the costumes can be purchased using Fight Money, although fans speculate that they will be available using Fight Money in the near future, once another set of Halloween costumes have been made available.
It is also announced that the game will be showcased during the New York Comic-Con (NYCC), where several tournaments will be held. Attendees at the NYCC will be able to try the Halloween DLC pack for free before the official Oct. 11 launch of the stage and costumes.
