Street Fighter V Thailand DLC stage pulled over 'religious reference'
Capcom has pulled Street Fighter V’s new Thailand DLC stage from its storefront and it is currently unplayable for those who purchased it due to what appears a problem with the background music.
Due to an upcoming change to the #SFV Thailand Stage, there will be server maintenance soon.

According to a post by Capcom Support, the stage launched with some “unintentional religious references” and Street Fighter V’s servers will go down for emergency maintenance to correct the problem.
A Reddit user claimed the background theme contains Muslim prayer chants. Capcom did not confirm if that was the case but it did apologize for the inclusion of the religious reference.
Once the servers come back online, users who purchased the stage will have access to it once again, with replacement background music.
Capcom rolled out the Thailand stage along with new work and school-themed costumes for Street Fighter V. The Capcom Pro Tour 2017 DLC is also available for purchase. If that isn’t enough DLC news for you, a leak may have revealed Balrog’s partner in crime Ed as the next Season 2 DLC character.
