Users trying to launch "Street Fighter V" will be greeted with a message from Capcom Entertainment informing them of the downtime of the game's online servers tomorrow, Oct. 25.

"We will be performing scheduled server maintenance from 10:00 to 16:00 PDT on 10/25. During maintenance, online features will be disabled. Thank you for your patience and continued support," the message reads.

It is unclear as to what this "Street Fighter V" server maintenance will be for, but fans were quick to speculate that Capcom might be preparing the game for the Arcade Mode.

For a while now, rumors trickled in about the addition of the said mode to the game. With it, fans will not have to follow the story in the fighting game and can get right into the action.

Although the addition of the "Street Fighter V" Arcade Mode is yet to be confirmed, the game files from the patch from early this month data mined by gamers had references to the said game mode.

In screens provided by a gamer that goes by the name X-Kira, Capcom appears to be preparing it with the said patch with references to some Daily Challenges from the game menu.

It would not be a surprise for "Street Fighter V" to get an Arcade Mode as previous installments received the game mode. The downtime scheduled tomorrow might officially add it to "Street Fighter V."

It is also possible that the server maintenance will just add the Canada Cup update. However, there is also a chance that this is merely a regular maintenance downtime.

But with the discoveries on the game files and the timing of the maintenance, "Street Fighter V" fanatics would like to think that this downtime will be a special one.

Good thing fans will not have to wait that long as the Capcom will go about the server maintenance tomorrow.
