Arc System Works is yet to announce any significant expansion for the fighter. It has slowly become one of the more popular fighting games in recent months, and players are having a great time with the rollback netcode and some of the unique characters that the title has to offer.

While It’s too early to tell if there will be a DLC in store for the fighting game or not, fans are hoping that there will be one in the near future.
