Street Fighter V Gets New Fighter and an Official Release Date

Sony confirmed the latest fighter to the Street Fighter V roster during their Paris Games Week press event. Returning from Street Fighter II and Street Fighter IV is yoga master Dhalsim, sporting some amazing flexibility on the main roster.

Dhalsim is the 15th character to be revealed of the initial cast of 16, and executive producer Yoshinori Ono promised he would reveal the final fighter next time, whenever that may be.

Ono also revealed the game’s official release date to be Feb. 16, 2016, so it won’t be long now before you’re brawling on the streets with the best of them exclusively on PlayStation 4.

Oh, and there will also be six new fighters joining the roster in Street Fighter V’s first year on shelves. Can you guess who they are?
