As showcased during the “Street Fighter V Fall Update” digital event on November 23, Luke is bringing his aggressive and powerful playstyle to the esteemed Street Fighter™ V roster as the 45^th and final character in the game. Luke arrives with a troubled backstory, as dramatic events from his childhood have forged a path forward. Although this entirely new character has a dark past, he has a bright future when it comes to his unique battle mechanics and importance in the world of Street Fighter™. Luke is available now in Street Fighter V and he will also play a key role in the next Street Fighter project.

A preview of Luke’s backstory was shown in the recent Fall Update, as viewers got a glimpse of the tragic event involving Luke and his father. After that fateful day, Luke swore to dedicate his life to become one of the best fighters in the world. As part of his training and his newfound discipline, Luke decides to join the military, where he meets a familiar fighter who helps him on his journey.

Luke’s gameplay is very offense-focused, excelling at keeping pressure on his opponents in order to set up a variety of attack opportunities. For example, “Flash Knuckle” is a highly effective combo finisher where each punch button leads to a different forward-moving attack. Luke’s distance game comes in the form of a projectile called “Sand Blaster,” which allows him to shoot energy from his hands and deal with opponents at mid-to-long range. To round out his arsenal, Luke is armed with a unique V-System that fills his V-Timer as he inflicts damage, rewarding an offensive playstyle.

Luke can be acquired with the Season 5 Character Pass or the Season 5 Premium Pass. He can also be purchased separately or for 100,000 Fight Money. Although Luke is the final character to join the robust Street Fighter V roster, Capcom Pro Tour 2022 DLC and a new battle balance adjustment will be available in March 2022, with other character-specific fixes added as needed.About Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Street Fighter V: Champion Edition includes all content (excluding Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes and Capcom Pro Tour DLC) from both the original release and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Champion Edition adds each character, stage and other content that released after Arcade Edition and through the launch of this new version. In total, this robust edition of Street Fighter V features 40 characters, 34 stages and over 200 costumes.

About Street Fighter V – Season 5
Season 5, the final season of Street Fighter V, offers an additional five new characters, two new stages and over 30 new costumes to current players, bringing the final totals in the game to 45 characters, 36 stages and over 230 costumes.

London, UK – 23rd November 2021 – Pocket Burger Games, a new remote and creator-first game development studio building popular casual mobile games, announced it closed its Seed round with lead investor SISU Game Ventures, with the participation of RLC Ventures and Aream & Co for $1 Million to advance development, hire new talent and prepare for the release of future titles for iOS, Google Play and other platforms. The investment represents SISU Game Ventures first investment in a UK games studio.

Founded in 2021, Pocket Burger Games was created to explore a “Fantasy First” approach to game development and a deep desire to create a creator-first development culture that respects and cares deeply about the people who create games, with unlimited vacation and “Off-Menu” Fridays where creators decide how their time is best spent. The co-founders have all come from leadership positions at groundbreaking mobile studios such as Space Ape, Gram Games and Rovio, and intend to use their learnings in top-grossing games with millions in players to find the next mass-market hit.

“It’s not just about being the first mover in a space,” says Mitchell Smallman, co-founder and CEO of Pocket Burgers Games. “It’s about finding games that SHOULD have existed by now. We’re not an idea team, we’re an audience team. Our goal is that every Pocket Burger Game has an audience that says “finally, a game for me!” and we deliver for them.”

“We were very familiar with Mitchell when he approached us,” says Samuli Syvähuoko, founding Partner at SISU Game Ventures. “And when we saw the rest of the team he had gathered, we were interested right away. It was clear pretty soon they were passionate about building the type of progressive company culture we’ve frequently seen succeed in mobile. They were a perfect fit for SISU.”Pocket Burger Games is currently a creative team of five developers, who have worked on massive hits across the industry, including at Space Ape Games, Next Games, Gram Games, Lionhead and Rovio Entertainment. This investment round gives Pocket Burger the ability to grow its team to launch and grow its first of many titles.

About Pocket Burger Games
Pocket Burger Games was founded by Mitchell Smallman, Matt Down and Adam Sullivan as a remote and creator-first studio to create breakout games in under-served categories. As veteran mobile developers, they had seen so many weird, fantastic and wonderful games lost to time. Pocket Burger’s games don’t appeal to everyone, and that’s okay with them… they make games people don’t know they want yet!
