Street Fighter stalwart Balrog is getting a surprise release this week.
He'll show up alongside Ibuki, Story Mode and Daily Challenges in Street Fighter V's June update - which, paradoxically, is now due on Friday, July 1.

Not enough new characters for you? PC players have been adding their own with mods, like Tracer from Overwatch.
Game of Thrones: So Much Happened in Season 6’s Finale!
Warning: Full spoilers for Game of Thrones' Season 6 finale episode, "The Winds of Winter," below.
Game of Thrones wrapped up its sixth season with an incredibly eventful episode -- you can read Matt Fowler's review by clicking here -- that truly seemed to set the stage for the endgame of the series.
So let's discuss "The Winders of Winter" and all that occurred!
This week's Dragons on the Wall topics include:
-The full reveal of Cersei's plan and all the fallout from it-Dany finally heading towards Westeros
-Jon Snow named the new King in the North and if he and Sansa's alliance will hold
Game of Thrones: Will Jon and Sansa Stay Allies?
SPOILERS for the Season 6 finale of HBO's Game of Thrones follow.
As the houses of the North pledged their allegiance to Jon Snow -- aka the White Wolf -- in a callback to Robb Stark's similarly triumphant moment a few seasons ago, Sansa Stark remained seated through it all with a pointed look -- one conspicuously shared by the ever-scheming Petyr Baelish.
Might Littlefinger's final ploy be to ultimately turn these two Starks against one another and pave the way for his own usurpation of power? He did admit to Sansa, after all, that his dream was to sit upon the Iron Throne with her by his side.
"Sansa, she does love her brother, you know? And they've had a conflicted past," said Game of Thrones co-showrunner David Benioff in HBO's Game of Thrones Season 6: Inside the Episode #10 (seen below).
Game of Thrones: Who Is Jon Snow’s Father?
The Season 6 finale of Game of Thrones "The Winds of Winter" gave us a clearer picture than ever of Jon Snow’s mysterious parentage. Let’s dive into those details and see if we can get a better idea of what Jon's family heart tree looks like.
Warning: this article contains full spoilers for "The Winds of Winter"!
As Bran taps back into the weirwood network of important plot revelations, we return to the pivotal flashback that was abruptly cut off in “Oathbreaker” earlier this season which saw young Ned Stark defeat the Targaryen guards and ascend up the steps of the Tower of Joy. It turns out what awaited him inside was his dying sister Lyanna Stark, who was bleeding out after delivering baby Jon Snow.
Overwatch Hero Torbjorn Getting Nerfed on Consoles
Blizzard Entertainment will nerf Overwatch hero Torbjorn's turret in an upcoming patch on console, game director Jeff Kaplan confirmed.
Torbjorn's turret damage will be reduced by 30 percent on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with PC left unchanged. Kaplan expects the update to go live in mid-to-late July, "depending on 1st party certification times."
Aided by a mouse and keyboard, PC players have a better chance of surviving Torbjorn's auto-aiming turret. Some players are suggesting this why Torbjorn will be left untouched on PC—less precise aim on a controller leaves console players at a disadvantage against Torbjorn.
Masters of the Universe: Twilight’s Kellan Lutz May Star
McG's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe may have a role for Twilight star Kellan Lutz.
In a post on Twitter, the actor—best known for his role as Emmett Cullen in The Twilight Saga—revealed that he met with director McG and producer Mary Viola, suggesting he may appear in Sony Pictures' live-action reboot.
Hey @HeManTheMovie and all MOTU fans,
Had an amazing meeting with @McGsWonderland and @ItsMaryViola talking MOTU!
ITS IN GREAT HANDS!

Everest VR Shows Me the Potentials of Virtual Tourism
Virtual tourism is one of the most interesting aspects of VR. To visit exotic locales I may never get a chance to explore is something I'm really looking forward to. Everest VR is one of these globetrotting virtual experiences, and given the ethos behind climbing Mount Everest, it's fitting to be one of the first.
Harsh winds pushed against the tents at base camp in the dead of night. It was hard to see past a few tents in front of me, so I kneeled down and made my way into a nearby tent to find a working flashlight. I got up and teleported to my fellow hikers using the controller touchpad. The screen then faded to black... and a scenic overview of the mountain played as an intermission between the demo phases.
Independence Day: Resurgence Disappoints at Box Office
Finding Dory held strong in first place at the box office this weekend while Independence Day: Resurgence debuted in second with an underwhelming $41.6 million.
Disney and Pixar's record-breaking animated feature earned an impressive $73.2 million. The movie saw a 46 percent decline compared to last week's figure, which, as Variety points out, makes for the best second weekend for an animated film ever and the eighth-highest across the board.
