Although the upcoming "Street Fighter V" already has a confirmed release date, which is next year, fans can't help but scour online for more information about the new brawler title.

Shoryuken managed to unearth data that points to Capcom planning post-launch content for the title. In the report, the website listed that data-mined audio files listed character names and online rankings. According to the report, added characters like Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri and Urien will make it to the "Street Fighter V" roster after the game's launch.

This information dovetails with other speculations. According to Gamespot, producer Yoshinori Ono hinted at the Paris Games Week that at least six new characters will appear. Meanwhile, there is also a hint at the data-mined information that pointed to another character to be added before the game's launch. However, the fighter was only codenamed as "Fan."

Although there is still no confirmation from Capcom, some observers are saying that the information is the real thing. According to Destructoid, having Alex and Urien as additional characters for the upcoming title make sense as their presence were already leaked prior to the beta test. Meanwhile, Guile, Ibuki, and Juri are fan favorites from the previous "Street Fighter" games.

Aside from the possible character DLC details, Shoryuken also managed to unveil Capcom's plans for the Capcom Pro Tour for "Street Fighter V." On the list on the post, the Pro Tour will come to different parts of the world such as Asia and and the U.S., which will have their own Pro Tour Finals. In addition, there are also other tours in connection to "Street Fighter V," such as a DreamHack event in Sweden, and the Capcom Cup Ranking, Online and Premier events.

"Street Fighter V" will make its way to the PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16 next year.
