This week, Capcom announced a slew of downloadable content packs for Street Fighter 4, including a new “Championship Mode” expansion pack and alternate costumes for each fighter. The Championship Mode expansion pack will add an enhanced tournament system and the ability to record matches. Once your matches are recorded, gamers can show off their Street Fighter skills by sharing them with others, via uploading and downloading options.

The alternate costume packs will become released after the launch of Street Fighter 4and will become available on a weekly basis. The alternate costume packs will be released on the following dates:


2/17 – Brawler Pack - Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel.

2/24 – Femme Fatale Pack - Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose, and C.Viper.

3/3 – Shoryuken Pack - Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Dan.

3/10 – Shadowloo Pack - Seth, M.Bison, Sagat, Balrog, and Vega.

3/17 – Classic Pack - Guile, Dhalsim, Fei-Long, Blanka, and Gen.

While we’re excited about the upcoming DLC, the costume packs will be released as premium content over Xbox Live and PSN. That means for Xbox 360 owners each costume pack will set you back 320 Microsoft Points and PS3 owners will pay $3.99 for their sets. However, as a gift from Capcom, the Championship Mode expansion pack will be released for free across both networks, which is great news for all.
