In anticipation of Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition next month, Capcom is running a free trial for Street Fighter 5. Starting February 3, players who have not yet purchased the game will be able to give it a go at no charge.

While free trials typically grant players access to a handful of characters, the upcoming one for Street Fighter 5 will see all 39 of the game's world warriors unlocked. Included here is the latest DLC character, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike's Gill.

"'We will all live in harmony, together.' Fight like a Champion and prepare for Street Fighter V: Champion Edition with the Free Trial coming to #PS4 and #Steam from Feb 3 - Feb 9!" the official Street Fighter Twitter account writes. "New players can try out all 39 currently available characters in the game! #SFVCE"

It wasn't stated what content and modes would be available during the free trial, but players can likely look forward to taking any of the current roster characters into online matches.

Fans on both PlayStation 4 and Steam will be able to take advantage of this free trial. So, if you're looking to get some hands-on time with the current version of the game, be sure to download the trial before February 9.

Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition is set for its standalone release on February 14. Picking it up will give you access to nearly all of the content ever released for Street Fighter 5, as well as the game's 40th character, Seth.

Yesterday, Capcom shared a full gameplay breakdown of the upcoming contender, showcasing all normals, special moves, and V-System moves. Seth appears to have an affinity for rushdown and mix ups, with a V-Trigger 1 that will be great for tacking on big damage and V-Trigger 2 unlocking deadly set up potential.

If you're planning on picking up Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition, you will be able to do so for $29.99 USD — as a physical copy or digital download — on the 14th. Those who already own any version of Street Fighter 5 can also opt to snag the Champion Edition Upgrade Kit right now for $24.99, which will unlock all of the CE content that's already available, as well as Seth upon release.
