As reported by Event Hubs, the fans can expect the character of Urien to become playable starting this September. Capcom confirmed that Urien will finally be introduced as a playable fighter in "Street Fighter V," amid rumors that the character will be included in a new patch update this August. Those fans who would like to try the character's special moves do not have to wait any longer.

Urien was already teased for a few times in "Street Fighter V," although he has yet to become a playable character in the game. Game N Guide reported that Urien was already featured in the cinematic mode of "Sreet Fighter V," but he would only serve as a silent player in the game's storyline. Many fans thought that Urien's recent appearances in the cinematic scenes of "Street Fighter V" are hints from Capcom that they will formally include the character in the roster.

There are also leaked art design for Urien, believed to be the character's official look once he is formally introduced as a playable character om the game. The concept art shows Urien producing a huge ball of energy and thrusting it to the ground that created a huge shockwave.

Yibada reported that Urien will be the most recent character included via DLC pack. Capcom launched the characters of Guile, Alex, Ibuki, Balrog and Juri as additional to the base game's original roster, with Juri only being added to the lineup last month. The most recent DLC also included the bonus summer costumes for Cammy, Laura and Ibuki.

On the other hand, VG 24/7 reported that Capcom will be implementing a new patch update in "Sreet Fighter V" that aims to stop some players' "rage quitting." There are some who would disconnect from the game right in the start of a battle. There will be a huge penalty for the rage quitters in hopes that this very disadvantageous activity will be prevented.
