Back in February when Street Fighter V originally launched on PlayStation 4 and PC, one of the main criticisms was the lack of a story mode, so you'd get some necessary context, as well as know how the various characters worked.

Well, Capcom has heard the prayers, and has finally released what they're calling a"Cinematic Story Expansion" called A Shadow Falls.

This is a single-player story mode, and here's the official synopsis taken from the PlayStation Store:

"Taking place between the events of Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter III, the Street Fighter V Cinematic Story Expansion, "A Shadow Falls," depicts the ultimate battle between the evil Shadaloo organization and the heroic World Warriors who stand against them. Seven "Black Moons" are deployed by Shadaloo, granting M. Bison unimaginable power, as the earth falls into darkness. Seeing the moons mysteriously appear in the sky, Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li embark on an epic journey around the world to retrieve fragment pieces that are the key to stopping the "Black Moons" before it's too late. Along the way, they encounter the rest of the World Warriors, each of whom have their own agendas and motivations in mind. The final battle between good and evil begins now... who will RISE UP?"

Are they feeling confident? We spoke to Capcom during E3 and they reckon it's going to be the "best story mode in franchise history".
