Street Fighter 5 is getting five new characters, four of which were announced on Wednesday as part of Capcom’s summer update for its flagship fighting game. Season 5 for Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition will bring back Dan Hibiki, Rose, and Oro from past Street Fighter games, as well as introduce Akira from Capcom’s Rival Schools series.

Dan, who debuted in the Street Fighter Alpha series, will be the first new character coming to Street Fighter 5 in season 5. He’ll be released sometime this winter. Street Fighter 5 game director Takayuki Nakayama showed off in-development footage of Dan in a mirror match, throwing his trademark feeble fireballs and performing other underpowered moves. Nakayama and his co-host, producer Shuhei Matsumoto, talked up Dan’s taunt move several times during a livestream, teasing something humorous to look forward to.

Also returning from the Street Fighter Alpha franchise is Rose, the fighting fortune teller who last appeared in Street Fighter 4. Rose is earlier in development, and will be released in spring 2021, according to Capcom’s development roadmap.
