Capcom Officially Confirms Street Fighter 6

According to official and confirmed sources, season 6 of the franchise fighting games Street Fighter is in development. Capcom has long shared hints about a new title from the series, so the sequel to Street Fighter V is sure to be well received by many.
​

​

Last week, Capcom launched a mysterious countdown website that hinted at a special kind of announcement. Fans have come up with two theories that the site will reveal the Resident Evil Village DLC and the long-awaited announcement about Street Fighter 6. The second theory is mainly based on the recently concluded Street Fighter V Pro Tour 2022 event.

Fans with the latter theory were absolutely right as Capcom has officially revealed Street Fighter 6 in a short trailer. In the trailer, the character Ryu has a beard, becomes older, and is facing Luke – Capcom has emphasized that this character will be introduced in the next Street Fighter project.
​

The Capcom trailer, website, and Twitter account all confirm that the new Street Fighter installment no longer uses Roman numerals in the title. The new game is called Street Fighter 6 instead of Street Fighter VI, different from the rest of the games in the series. In addition, Capcom promises that more information about SF6 will be announced next summer – around the time of E3.​
