Rejoice, SFV players! The suits have relented and the promised time of free character DLC is upon us! That’s right, Sony just confirmed on the Playstation blog that Street Fighter V is moving to a “pay to not grind” system for all of their gameplay-affecting post-launch releases, including new characters.
The game will feature two currencies, a premium ‘zenny’ currency used for cosmetic DLC and faster unlocks, alongside a free currency earned by playing the game which will…also unlock things, but slower. So, uh, yay! I know that personally the expense of purchasing all the DLC characters stopped me going deep into SFIV, so this is welcome news!
