As Capcom is putting it, a ‘hefty’ free update is soon headed the way of Street Fighter X Tekken with a large number of balance fixes for the game. This patch is expected to bring in a major change in the way the game plays. It will be released later this year. The developer has also announced a discount on the title’s alternate consumes that are available via PSN
Most of the game’s characters will be granted fresh tweaks by Capcom through this update which was announced by the developer at the New York Comic Con recently. The changes will include tweaks to their speeds, moves and their anti-air techniques. Alternate costumes for the game will be doled out with a 50 percent discount for two weeks. The PS Vita version which is slated to arrive later this month will feature these costumes from the start.
This game was first released by Capcom in March this year for the PS3 and Xbox 360. It was in May that it made its way to PC, whereas its iOS launch took place in September. It includes major fighters from both the franchises of classic games. The gameplay however has been made to match that of the Street Fighter series rather than Tekken. Another game based more on the latter’s style is currently under production under the name Tekken X Street Fighter. It will supposedly kick in 3D models and fighting mechanics that have made the Tekken series so popular.
Street Fighter X Tekken will be getting its ‘hefty’ update in December this year. Meanwhile, October 19 will see the release of its PS Vita version.
