Capcom, in dramatic fashion, already announced the entire Street Fighter V Season Three roster in a group, in contrast to the usual trickle of announcements. However, each character is still getting the spotlight treatment, as evidenced by Capcom’s new release date announcement for Blanka.
Blanka, a returning character from all the way back in Street Fighter II , is going to be released on February 20, 2018. Blanka is the second character addition for Season Three, following Sakura. While the whole Season Three Character Pass is available now for $29.99, Blanka will also be available ala carte for $5.99 of 100,000 Fight Money (in-game currency earned through play).
Capcom released a new gameplay trailer introducing the look and feel of Blanka in-game, which also shows off his V-Skill, V-Triggers, and Critical Art. Various costumes were also shown, most notably his hilarious story costume, showing Blanka wearing a mascot-style costume of himself. Capcom hinted that in his story, Blanka has been convinced to market himself with a doll. So, it’s good to know Street Fighter still has a sense of humor.
