When entering the new console generation, many reflected on what games came before. And, many were surprised with the extended support for Street Fighter V from Capcom. But, where is the next installment then? In one report back in November 2020, it was reported that Capcom is working on a new installment. Even further is the next entry for the mainline series will be returning to Xbox once more.
It was not until this past February Capcom officially announced Street Fighter 6 with a teaser trailer for the game. Then following in June this year we got new information confirming the release window slated for next year. Additionally, footage revealed the improved visuals, gameplay, and even an open-world aspect introduced.
This weekend at EVO 2022, Capcom announced Juri will be returning to the latest entry alongside the reveal for the newest addition Kimberly. You can watch the trailer in the video below:
“In terms of Kimberly’s design, we aimed to create an outfit suitable for her speedy and acrobatic movements since she excels in sports like track-and-field and cheerleading. Pair her brightly colored gi with sneakers suitable for moving around quickly, and you have Bushinryu-like ninja attire, don’t you think?” Game Director Takayuki Nakayama shares.
“We tried to make her hairstyle and outfit beautifully showcase her striking silhouette since she is an expert at running and airborne attacks. The spray can and portable cassette player on her waist are also used for special moves.” What are your thoughts on the newest addition coming to Street Fighter 6alongside Juri’s return?
Street Fighter 6 is coming sometime in 2023.
