Street Fighter 5 story mode is finally arriving in an update on July 1, Capcom announced.

Included in the update will be two new characters, Balrog and Ibuki. Ibuki, a ninja warrior, was originally planned for a release in May but was delayed. Balrog is a returning fighter from the series and a trailer was released to celebrate his addition to the roster.

Capcom has admitted that Street Fighter V launched with a lack of polish and content when the game released this February. Story mode was a highly requested feature for the game, giving players a chance to experience the series’ lore and experiment with characters. Moving forward the company will focus on improving the quality of the game, even if it means more delays.

Balrog is the game’s fourth DLC character. Previously released characters were Alex and Guile. Juri and Urien, the remaining DLC characters, are shown in the Balrog trailer. The characters can be earned through regular gameplay or by using real money.
