Capcom has officially announced Street Fighter 6 in the finale of Capcom Pro Tour exhibition, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the franchise. This confirms rumors that a countdown page launched a week ago by Capcom has been counting down to this announcement.
Get ready, another fight is coming your way! Capcom, the powerhouse behind 35 years of the video game industry’s most legendary fighting games, delivered a one-two punch this Sunday, Feb. 20, 2022, during the Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Final with a sneak peek at the highly anticipated Street Fighter™ 6 and the reveal of Capcom Fighting Collection™. Street Fighter 6, the next evolution of the renowned Street Fighter™ series which has sold more than 47 million units since it charged onto the scene 35 years ago, is now in development. The teaser trailer showcased a glimpse of what’s to come with the future of Street Fighter™, as series mainstay Ryu locks horns with new challenger Luke. The 45th and final character in the Street Fighter™ V roster was teased to have a key role in the next Street Fighter project, which has now been confirmed. More details will be shared this summer. Stay tuned to the official Street Fighter 6 website for all the latest info. While the excitement for the next chapter in the Street Fighter saga builds, fans can kick off celebrating 35 years of Capcom fighting games with Capcom Fighting Collection, an anthology of 10 classic titles – including the full Darkstalkers™ series together for the first time ever outside of Japan. Each of the 10 titles in the collection has been revitalized with online multiplayer, enhanced features, and quality of life updates.
A teaser trailer has also been released, showing a beefed up Ryu facing off against Luke, the final DLC character for Street Fighter 5.
Capcom has not announced expected platforms or the release date, but did say that we can expect more information this summer. It was rumored last year that Street Fighter 6 was in development for a 2022 release, though this has yet to be confirmed. This is also the first Street Fighter to be released since longtime producer Yoshinori Ono departed the company, having worked on the franchise since 1998.
Capcom also announced the Capcom Fighting Collection, which includes 10 classic fighting games, including the Darkstalkers series. The collection will launch on June 24th this year for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
