Adds a new character, and lets you fight the U.

Street Fighter V is getting a big update next week that adds a new character, Urien, a 'Vs. U' function to let you fight in one-off matches against the computer (I'm a little amazed that wasn't in the game before now), new Daily Targets so you can earn a little extra Fight Money on the side, and Fighter Profiles so you can see how good or rubbish you are compared to your friends.

There are also a bunch of new costumes and character colours, and additional environmental K.O.s, as revealed on the Capcom Unity blog (there will be a few readers who haven't got that pun yet—it's like 'Cap-community', DO YOU SEE?)

Urien is the biggest deal of this latest update, of course, a fighter returning from Street Fighter III, and with a few more clothes. The Vice President of the Illuminati can be bought with Fight Money or Actual Money, and yep, he's included with the Season .

The update arrives on September 22, and you can read the full details of what's included here.
