Street Fighter IV isn’t out for 12 more days, but that hasn’t stopped Capcom from announcing some DLC for the game. The first expansion pack, Championship Mode, which is free, will add replay mode, a new points system, and enhanced tournament matching. Replay mode seems pretty cool, if Halo 3 taught me anything, it’s that replays should be in every single game, no matter what.
There is also more DLC down the road, with various new outfits available for the characters.
Additionally, they confirmed that Bionic Commando, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, will be releasing this May with the PC version soon to follow.
