![]() ![]() When will it release? What consoles will it release on? What's the name of the song in the trailer? The SF6 teaser revealed none of those things. SF fans now have a small taste of Nakayama and Matsumoto's vision for SF6.Īs with any reveal trailer, the most important part is the end. Nakayama and Matsumoto's work in the latter years of SFV have received overwhelming praise for how they've improved SFV's gameplay, the characters they introduced for the final season of SFV, as well as their open and transparent communication with fans through Nintendo Direct-like presentations. This turnaround is thanks in part to Capcom's fighting game division leadership shifting over from an SF mainstay, producer Yoshinori Ono, to a new director in Takayuki Nakayama and producer in Shuhei Matsumoto. It's no secret SFV got off to a rough start, but throughout its life, Capcom managed an almost complete turnaround resulting in SFV becoming one of the best overall fighting games of the past generation of consoles. SF6's reveal comes six years after SFV was released.

Well, not exactly, as the announcement that the countdown was counting down to still had to wait for the final exhibition match of Street Fighter V's Capcom Pro Tour to finish, which saw Street Fighter legend Daigo Umehara lose to Kawano. ![]() While we got no info for it besides a CGI cutscene featuring Ryu and Street Fighter V DLC character Luke, we can expect more info in the upcoming summer.After a week of speculation, Capcom's mysterious countdown clock finally hit zero. The next game in the franchise, Street Fighter 6, has been officially announced and teased. When the countdown on Capcom’s website finally hit zero, though, it revealed that it’s indeed related to a new Street Fighter. While a new Street Fighter felt like a possibility, it never felt like a guarantee, especially since the series historically takes a long time to release new mainline titles with an eight-year gap between Street Fighter V and Street Fighter IV, and an 11-year gap between Street Fighter III and Street Fighter IV. As such, when a recent countdown appeared on Capcom’s website with no indication of what it could be, fans speculated. In Japan, where the developer and publisher of the series Capcom is located, the series is still a mainstay in the thriving arcade scene.Īll of this is to say that when a new Street Fighter game is announced, it’s usually a big deal. Even as the idea of arcades became a thing of the past in the United States, games like Street Fighter II were being regularly played on home consoles and in competitive local tournaments. It, alongside the bloodier Mortal Kombat, revolutionized the fighting game genre and dominated arcades for over a decade. Street Fighter is one of the most famous fighting franchises ever.
