After the official debut at yesterday's State of Play, Street Fighter 6 fans can now take a look at a character roster leak from ResetEra. So far, the community's response to the updated character designs seems very positive.
Unlike its predecessor, Street Fighter 6 will be released on Xbox in addition to PlayStation consoles and PC. There's also a brand new live commentary feature, with famous fighting tournament voices commenting on your moves in real time.
Street Fighter 6 launches at some point in 2023.
Powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Street Fighter 6 spans three distinct game modes, including Fighting Ground, World Tour and Battle Hub. The experience also includes innovative new gameplay features, plus enhanced visuals for every aspect of the game.
In addition to new gameplay innovations, Street Fighter 6 celebrates what fans love about the franchise by uniting core modes from previous titles – including Arcade Mode, online matches, Training Mode, local versus battles and more – to the Fighting Ground experience. From iconic World Warriors like Ryu and Chun-Li, to the final addition to the Street Fighter V roster Luke, and the new expert breakdancer/drunken boxer Jamie, players will have a wide range of fighting skills and styles to master.
