Street Fighter X Tekken gets 12 new DLC characters at the end of the month

Capcom has confirmed that the 12 new playable characters for Street Fighter X Tekken, which will be included in the PS Vita version of the game, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the end of the month.

Originally scheduled to be available after the PS Vita version launches this fall, these 12 new characters will now be added to the all-star roster on July 31st, 2012 as DLC for €19.99/£15.99 (1600 Microsoft Points).

Bringing the robust Street Fighter X Tekken character line-up to an impressive 50, the newly-added playable characters include: Blanka, Cody, Dudley, Elena, Guy, Sakura, Alisa Bosconovitch, Bryan Fury, Christie Monteiro, Jack-X, Lars Alexandersson and Lei Wulong.

For those who purchase the PS Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken this fall, the first run of all retail copies will come with two free download codes that will allow owners to transfer DLC content to their PS3.

One code will be for the additional 12 characters and the second will give Vita players free alternate costumes for the core roster of 38 characters. Additionally, anyone who pre-orders the upcoming PS Vita version at select retailers will receive alternate costumes for the 12 new characters. All DLC can be shared between the PS3 and PS Vita.
