Fans may be seeing fun new costumes for "Street Fighter V" soon. According to Capcom Fighters Network Portal, developer Capcom has prepared zombie-themed costumes for the characters.
These garbs, however, were scrapped but that does not mean they won't see the light of day. On the site, it was revealed that Dhalsim, Zangief, Cammy, Chun-Li and M. Bison might still be zombie-fied in the future.
"These aren't necessarily entirely discarded, so you might actually see them in the game at some point," the site read. The character designs were also posted there as well as some descriptions.
"Even though we ended up dropping these, if the reception is good, we might end up reviving them after all (as zombies, of course)," it further hinted.
Dhalsim's zombie version in "Street Fighter V" is described as having "perfect" skull decoration, which is deemed "too scary." "His stretchy punches just might cause his limbs to fall off," the description further read.
For Zangief's size, making him a zombie in "Street Fighter V" will be really terrifying. M. Bison's transformation, on the other hand, teased that his Shadaloo army shared the same fate, making them more ominous.
Being turned into a zombie did not affect Cammy and Chun-Li much, as per the description, which said that both still look pretty, of course, if fans get past the eating-brains-and-flesh part.
If fans are up for Zombie Dhalsim or Zombie Cammy or any one of these characters, Capcom will be willing to officially release these costumes. As of now, nothing is set in stone yet.
If it does not end up being available publicly to "Street Fighter V" players, Capcom has prepared a series of post-launch content for players to look forward to. The developer will also continuously polish the fighting game.
"[It]'s best to spend a little more time in developing and running a high-quality title that will perform well globally," Capcom said in its latest earnings presentation, admitting that "Street Fighter V" really "needed more polish" and that it suffered a lack of content and server issues.
"Accordingly, we feel it's better to give a little more time to development than before, and have made slight adjustments to our portfolio," the company explained.
