Capcom is trying to cash in on the Street Fighter franchise by launching a complete edition of their latest fighting game, Street Fighter V. Coming next year on PC via Steam and PlayStation 4, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition includes all content (excluding Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes, and Capcom Pro Tour DLC) from the original game and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition will release on February 14, 2020, and can be acquired for $30 / €30 / £25. More importantly, starting November 18, current owners of any version of Street Fighter V can purchase the so-called Upgrade Kit for $25 / €25 / £20, which offers instant access to all new Champion Edition content as it becomes available leading up to the February 14 release.

It's worth mentioning that the Champion Edition adds each character, stage and other content that released after Arcade Edition and will include all launch content coming to this new version. In total, this edition of Street Fighter V features 40 characters, 34 stages, and over 200 costumes.

Announced alongside the Champion Edition, Gill makes his angelic return to the series joining the roster for Champion Edition and available to current Street Fighter V players beginning in December 2019.

The leader of the Secret Society and the end boss of the Street Fighter III series, Gill is a master of both pyrokinesis and cryokinesis, allowing him to control fire and ice with perfect elemental balance. Typically plotting behind the scenes, Gill is now ready to reveal himself to the world, as he sets out to fulfill the prophecy that the Secret Society has coveted since ancient times.

Keep in mind that while Gill will be added to the Street Fighter V roster as part of Street Fighter: Champion Edition in February 2020, players have the option to buy it separately starting in December 2019 for $6 / £5 / €6 or 100,000 Fight Money.

Capcom also mentions that all game mode additions and balance updates are free for owners of any Street Fighter V version. Additionally, all DLC characters remain earnable completely free of charge through completing various in-game challenges and receiving earned in-game currency, called Fight Money. However, for those who can’t wait, in-game content can be obtained instantly using real money.
