Today, towards the end of the Capcom Cup in Anaheim, Capcom revealed the next batch of characters that will come to Street Fighter V‘s season 3.

The first is Sakura, who was teased pretty overtly back in November and is the protagonist of a brand new trailer. She will be released on January 16th 2018 and she isn’t a kid anymore. Now she has a definitely more “adult” look, while her old costume is available as an alternate.

In a related Street Fighter news, today we also got the announcement of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
