'Street Fighter 5' pre-order bonus costumes available

 Capcom Unity (official website)

There will now be pre-order bonus costumes available for some of the characters in "Street Fighter 5."

The alternative costumes will be available by pre-ordering the game through specific retailers.

First off, fans who will be buying their copy of "Street Fighter 5" through GameStop will be receiving the alternative costume for Ryu. The alternative look, dubbed "Hot Ryu," according to Eurogamer, presents a different side of the famed fighter. Instead of donning his iconic fighting gear, Ryu now sports a bare and very muscular upper body along with a fully grown beard to complete his manly metamorphosis.

Next up is Chun-Li, and fans who want to receive her outfit as a pre-order bonus will need to order their copy of the game through either the PlayStation Store or other digital PC outlets. Chun-Li's outfit is a bit more understated as she simply pairs a black dress while wearing her hair down.

After that is the evil M.Bison, whose alternative outfit players can receive as a pre-order bonus for purchasing "Street Fighter 5" from Amazon, according to Polygon. M.Bison's alternative look has him donning a villainous black garb that he complements with some very distinct white-colored facial hair.

The last of the characters confirmed to be getting a pre-order bonus costume is Cammy. Players who want to receive her special outfit will need to buy their copy of "Street Fighter 5" from Best Buy. Cammy's alternative costume has a distinctly military feel to it, although the color blue does give her a different look.

Aside from the pre-order bonus costumes, Capcom has also revealed a new Collector's Edition of "Street Fighter 5."

The Collector's Edition will, of course, include a copy of the game as well as a 48-page sketchbook and a 10-inch tall statue of Ryu, although he will likely be in his original costume for this.
