Although the Steelbook Edition was originally meant for the European release, it is now being prepared for the Asian release as well in limited quantities. According to the press release, there was supposed to be another Asian version (regular, without the bundle) for download at RM 220 but we were unable to find it on the PlayStation Store. Otherwise, there’s a PC version too which can be purchased from Steam at RM 222 for the Standard Edition and RM 348 for the Deluxe Edition.
Fans of collectibles will have something to look forward too with the 12-month PS Plus membership cards featuring Ryu, and the pack will include a bonus card sticker as well. The cards will be available at retail outlets for RM 129.
The STREET FIGHTER series first debuted on arcade consoles back in 1987 with its revolutionary fighting system (at that time), and has seen amazing records with its follow-up, STREET FIGHTER II, in 1991. As of the 30th of September 2014, the console game series has achieved a sales record of 36 million units worldwide.
With STREET FIGHTER V being the latest addition to the franchise, the game is being powered by the very latest Unreal Engine 4. The console version has been made available exclusive to PS4, and the game comes with 16 characters, both old and new, as well as a new battle system. The battle system will bring out the best of each characters, and the developers have baked in the brand new CAPCOM FIGHTERS NETWORK (CFN) too. CFN is a community building tool that, among others, will allow users connect with other users, and show where matches are being played all around the world, along with the players that are competing in them, their detailed match statistics, and even game replays.
