A few months after confirming the existence of Street Fighter 6, Capcom has revealed that the next entry into the fighting franchise will be released in 2023 for PS 5, PS 4, Xbox Series X | S and PC. As promised by the company in its initial teaser, the game will include Luke, a key DLC character for Street Fighter V, as well as fan favorites Ryu and Chun-Li. The video game developer previously described Luke as “a key player in the future of Street Fighter” who would help expand his world.
Capcom is using its own RE engine to develop the fighting game, and says this gives it the ability to make sure the smallest details shine, such as the look of tense individual muscles. The company also used RE Engine for its other popular titles, such as Resident Evil Village, Devil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter: Rise.
One of the features that debuts with the title is Real Time Commentary, which will provide you with easy-to-understand explanations of your game play. These comments will be voiced by prominent commentators in the fighting game community, starting with Jeremy “Vicious” Lopez and Aru, and will support subtitles in 13 languages.
It will also feature modes from previous entries, along with two new ones called World Tour and Battle Hub. In addition, Capcom is introducing Modern Control Type with Street Fighter 6 to make special moves easier to execute: it will allow you to perform special attacks by simply pressing the corresponding button along with the directional input.
The company has not yet announced an exact release date, but you can watch a trailer for the game below:
