Capcom has just released the final DLC for the first season of "Street Fighter 5," which may mean that the roster is complete for now. Fans will just have to wait for the next one for a next group of characters.

YIBADA was able to reveal that the final DLC character for season 1 was Urien. Now the next group of characters will be expected by fans by the time season 2 comes out, which probably might be next year.

A lot of speculations from the fans say that the new batch of characters in the next season would be Oro, Abel, Q, Rose, Sagat, and Sodom.

Also, Event Hubs was able to reveal another character coming out in the upcoming 2017 DLC who may also be joining the roster of characters in the second season. At the London Stage, fans were able to spot what could be a new character on a poster for a Secret Delta movie. The character was reported to appear in a hoodie in an icy blue motif named Eisbahn (which stands for "ice rink" in German). With icy theme around this mysterious new character, it may also be possible that the character will be released on winter 2016.

With the Capcom Cup approaching its opening on Dec. 3, it may be possible that Eisbahn will be released that time. However, until the game company can truly confirm it themselves, it's unsure whether the new character will be released that time or next year.

In other news, Capcom has been seeing dismal sales for "Street Fighter 5," only selling 1.4 million copies worldwide, which is obviously much lower than their target of two million unit targets sold.

Hopefully, these DLCs will help in bumping up sales for them. Most of us wouldn't want to see a classic series go down like that.
