Asura's Wrath getting Ryu DLC

Capcom hasn't released any details, exactly, but they did release the above screenshot to feed speculation. There's no doubt that it's "inspired" by Street Fighter IV, with Ryu, that game's HUD, and even a background inspired by Sagat's stage from Street Fighter II.

Asura's Wrath isn't out anywhere yet, but Capcom has already announced one piece of DLC for the game.

Capcom hasn't released any details, exactly, but they did release the above screenshot to feed speculation. There's no doubt that it's "inspired" by Street Fighter IV, with Ryu, that game's HUD, and even a background inspired by Sagat's stage from Street Fighter II.

It's not clear if what you see is all there is to it, or if it will be a whole new mode with more than one Street Fighter character making an appearance. Asura's Wrath's QTE-focused gameplay would work in basically any situation you can think of. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine it adapted for a 2D fighter mode.

Asura's Wrath launches in Japan and North America next week.
