Capcom Adds Darkstalkers Costumes to SFV: Arcade Edition to Appease Fans

Darkstalkers is a fan favorite Capcom franchise that began back in 1994 and saw its last title released in 2013. With over five years since the last entry in the franchise was released, fighting game fans have been pushing the developer to create a new Darkstalkers game with no success. However, today fans of the horror monster fighting game got some good news that may satisfy their desires, as it was revealed that three new costumes inspired by the Darkstalkers franchise will be making their way into Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.  

Juri, Urien and Menat will be the three characters recieving the cosmetic upgrade. Menat's costume is inspired by the mummy Anakaris' partner the Khaibit, who first appeared in Darkstalkers 3. Urien's costume is inspired by the half human and half vampire character Donovon Baine, while Juri's character is inspired by the succubus Lilith.  

While there is no new entry in the beloved franchise on the horizon anytime soon for fans, Capcom has now given players the ability to do battle in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition with a little of their favorite horror monster fighting game franchise thrown into the mix. Players will be able to purchase these three new costumes starting April 3rd on Steam and the Playstation store with each one costing $3.99.
