Veteran Street Fighter combatants Sagat and Balrog have been confirmed to make an appearance in the upcoming Street Fighter IV, according to a post on Capcom’s official blog.
Both characters have been included in various arcade machines across Japan, although Capcom notes that the due are "not in their final form.” While not playable at present, the company notes that "you can fight against them if the right conditions are met in the single-player mode".
The latest version of the popular brawler also adds three new locations to fight in: Drive-In at Night from the USA, Beautiful Bay from South Asia, and Inland Jungle from South America.
Sagat and Balrog join a host of returning characters in Street Fighter IV, such as Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Guile, Ken and Ryu, along with new entries Abel and Crimson Viper.
