The roster includes Eagle, Shin Hisako and Kilgore. You can customize fighters with Seasons 1–3 premium Retro Costumes, premium accessories, specialty skins and other cosmetic content. The collection also includes all released gold skins, the Golden God and Argent Shroud colors for Gargos, Terror Skins for Fulgore, Mira and Riptor, and Holiday Accessories for TJ Combo, Orchid and Sabrewulf. Omen, Shadow Jago, Kilgore and Shin Hisako do not have retro skins or premium accessories. All released Ultimate Finishers are included for a limited selection of fighters, along with additional Omen Colors 7, 8 and 9. A permanent VIP Double XP Booster is also included.

Story and training

Story Mode explores the origins and rivalries of the characters. In Shadow Lords, you build a team of fighters to stop Gargos and his army of Mimics from invading. The Dojo tutorial teaches the core mechanics, while Combo Breaker Training focuses on learning to break combos. Combo Assist options can be customized.

Game modes

Survival mode pits you against endless waves of enemy AI or Shadow Fighters trained by other players. In Shadow Lab, you train an AI Shadow Fighter to use your style, strategy and combos, then challenge friends to asynchronous matches.

Online competition

Online multiplayer includes competitive matches and Monthly Ranked Leagues, where you compete for a place in the top 32. The game uses fighting-game netcode and performs a Performance Grading test automatically before your first match.
