Description:
A black cloud hangs over Ken and Ryu's reunion.​ Brought together by the mysterious death of their master,​ the two warriors must overcome a challenge unlike any they've faced before.​

Increasingly disturbed by the dark energies building within him,​ Ryu is unexpectedly confronted with the appearance of Shun - a boy claiming to be the long-lost brother he never knew.​ Soon,​ signs of their common lineage are revealed as Shun enters a martial arts competition and manifests the same fearsome Dark Hadou.​ But before Ryu has the chance to consider whether Shun's timely appearance might be more than coincidental,​ agents of the insidious Shadowlaw organization kidnap the boy.​

To recover the child,​ Ryu must undertake the ultimate journey of self-discovery and learn to control the power threatening to consume him.​ But with this confidence waning,​ will he have what it takes to confront Akuma - the vicious lord of the Dark Hadou himself?​

Find out as allies old and new join forces against a sinister new threat in the pulse-pounding sequel to the phenomenally popular Street Fighter IIV series.​
