'Street Fighter V' DLC release date news update: Arcade Mode prototype coming up; Mysterious new character arriving soon

There are rumors that Bandai Namco will be releasing a DLC update for the fighting video game "Street Fighter V" before the end of the year. The fans have long been clamoring for the Arcade Mode, which was absent upon the release of the latest "Street Fighter" installment. It is speculated that the Arcade Mode will be included in the upcoming update, along with other additional game contents such as new downloadable characters.

Alleged leaks of the upcoming "Street Fighter V" update were posted on the NeoFighter forum, according to University Herald. A forum member named LeonX posted the leaked images, revealing several daily challenges that the players will see upon the release of the DLC. There are new timed missions, survival and story modes that are included in the DLC update. but the most interesting part is that the Arcade Mode might finally be included in the game. However, this Arcade Mode might just be a prototype, and it is not exactly the same as the Arcade Mode from the previous "Street Fighter" game titles.

Meanwhile, Bandai Namco already released a new special game mode for the fans. The so-called Extra Mode was revealed for the Halloween-themed DLC update for "Street Fighter V," which will run from October 11 to November 29, according to Event Hubs. While the Arcade Mode is not yet officially confirmed by Bandai Namco, the players can first try and experience the Extra Mode.

As for the additional DLC characters, it is rumored that Oro will be introduced in "Street Fighter V" through the next update. Oro was first introduced in "Street Fighter 3," but the character has not been present in the following installments until "Street Fighter V," when it was first thought to make a comeback. Oro's background story is mysterious and compelling at the same time, and Bandai Namco may further reveal his days with Ryu as he trained the latter to be one of the strongest martial artists today.

The last DLC character to be released in "Street Fighter V" is Urien, and  before 2016 closes, more fighters are expected to join the ever-growing roster.
