Capcom has revealed that Street Fighter V’s hoity-toity warrior Karin is set to receive a new costume in the near future. This one is something a little special, as it will see the upper-class madam kit herself out in the style of Hokuto, one of the lead characters from Arika’s Fighting EX Layer.
As fighting game fans will be aware, this crossover is something of a “return to roots” deal for both franchises. Fighting EX Layer is a title spawned out of the characters that appeared in Arika’s Street Fighter EX series in the mid-’90s, which re-imagined the classic 2D fighting title in 3D form.
