Skullgirls<\/strong><\/em> has been viewed as a lot of things within the gaming world. From an initial success story of a developer’s passion for fighting games to fans still supporting the title even years after its release, Skullgirls<\/em> deserves the mantle of “the little fighting game that could.” Now nearing ten years after Skullgirls<\/em>\u00a0launched to high praise<\/a>, the game will be getting its biggest update yet.<\/p>\n

The new Season pass, a first for the independent fighting game, will feature\u00a0four new playable characters as well as new stages and color palettes. The first character to join Skullgirls<\/em> as part of the Season Pass is Annie, who was\u00a0announced back in August 2020<\/a>. Outside of just the announcement\u00a0of new characters, developer Autumn Games also confirms that Skullgirls<\/em> will also receive a Story Mode as part of the package. The Season Pass will cost $30 with each character costing $10 should buyers choose to purchase them individually.<\/p>\n

What many fans have made astute notice of is that the Season Pass is numbered. Since this is Skullgirls<\/em> first foray into an extended character release plan, the Season Pass is followed by a “1.” Many fans have taken this to mean that\u00a0there is likely a lot more to come to Skullgirls<\/em> in the future. While Skullgirls<\/em> had single DLC characters release throughout the last decade, this is the first\u00a0planned package of additional characters. When Annie was officially revealed in late January with a short gameplay showcase, the Skullgirls<\/em> trailer ended with a tease for another new character<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike previous DLC releases for Skullgirls<\/em><\/a>, the remaining three Season Pass characters won’t be selected via a vote.\u00a0Skullgirls<\/em> famously left the choice of the next downloadable character up to fans by providing a bracket of options. Ultimately, the first character to win the nomination was Eliza, who was followed by the release of Big Band and Beowulf.<\/p>\n
