As part of a bevy of new features and updates coming on May 30, Street Fighter V will receive a remastered Spain stage loaded with dancers, musicians and all the requisite flair we’ve enjoyed since its stylish debut in Street Fighter II. And Vega players… yes, you will be able to climb that bad boy. Pick up the Flamenco Tavern starting on May 30 for $3.99 / ￥400 / €3.99 or 70,000 Fight Money.

We also want to thank all of our fans for continuing to support the Capcom Pro Tour this year through the new in-game items we’ve released and the new 2017 Premier Pass! As we mentioned, users who purchase the CPT 2017 Premier Pass will not only get access to all the cool new content such as costumes for Ryu and Ken, we will also be offering up additional Targets.
To kick things off, we’ll be offering up four Targets in June to celebrate the launch of the New CFN which will net you a cool 36,000 Fight Money! We’ll be releasing a new Target each month after that through November.
Keep in mind that each target only lasts for the month that it is active. For example, the Targets in June will expire on July 1st, the Targets starting in July will expire on August 1st and so forth.
For a full rundown of all the new Capcom Pro Tour content this year and more information on how this initiative supports Street Fighter V esports, check out this post over at the PlayStation Blog.
