Last week a brand new Street Fighter 5 playable character called Necalli has been revealed during the EVO 2015. The character is a brand new fighter coming with a unique and powerful fighting style that will make him a force to be reckoned with. Additional details on the character’s fighting style have also emerged online a few days ago, revealing that the Necalli V-Trigger will work almost as a stance, since there’s no way to turn it off once activated. When V-Trigger is active, the character will be able to use more powerful attacks but will lose the ability to use V-Reversals.
Street Fighter 5 is going to sport a different approach to additional post-release content. It’s been confirmed a few days ago that the initial release is the only disc players will have to buy, with all balance and system adjustments getting released for free. Even extra fighters released in the future can be obtained by playing the game and use the Fight Money basic currency. The game will also include a premium currency called Zenny that will grant immediate access to post-launch content.
Street Fighter 5 will be released next year on PlayStation 4 and PC. More news on the fighting game currently in development by Capcom will be coming in soon so stay tuned for all the latest news.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.
Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.
In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:
Worldwide:
- Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
- The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
- Addressed multiple instances of crashes
- I corrected a few spelling errors
- Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue
Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:
- [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode
More bug fixes have been implemented.
- [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
- Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity.
