Ultra Street Fighter IV Released

Capcom announced that Ultra Street Fighter IV has released today as digital upgrade content for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Owners of Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition can download Ultra Street Fighter IV as a $14.99 digital content upgrade.

In Ultra Street Fighter IV, Poison, Hugo, Elena, Rolento and Decapre join the fight, complete with new animations and their own unique play styles, bringing the final roster count to 44 characters. Six new battle environments (including Pitstop 109, Cosmic Elevator, Half Pipe and more) provide a backdrop to the action. Direct fan feedback was gathered on all of the original 39 characters from Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition and the core system mechanics in order to achieve the most balanced Street Fighter ever. In addition to the new content and the rebalanced gameplay, the new version features a host of new features and modes.

On August 5th, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 retail versions will be in stores for $39.99, with the full digital bundle on PS3 available as a download then too. Both the $14.99 PC digital upgrade and $29.99 PC full digital bundle will be out on August 8th. Players who purchase the retail versions (PS3, Xbox 360) or full digital bundles (PS3, PC) will receive all previously released costumes for the series.
