SomeStreet Fighteron 4/20
[Update:The show’s about to begin! Check it out below!]
Capcom is hosting a new showcase for the upcomingStreet Fighter 6on April 20. The new and, from the sounds of it, final extended look atStreet Fighter 6will apparently have some “big news.”
The show will air onCapcom’s YouTube channelat 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET on April 20. It’s set tohost over half an hourof “big news and announcements,” all about the upcomingSF6.
Hosting the whole show will be Lil Wayne. It’s an interesting pick, for sure. But it’snot exactly the first timethe artist has crossed over withStreet Fighter, either.
According to the YouTube premiere description, there will be details on World Tour, the Battle Hub, and the Fighting Ground. Additionally, Capcom is promising some “big news at the end of the show.” Honestly, some part of me wants that to be Lil Wayne joining the roster. If that happens, we can just hope it goes betterthan other cameos have.
Taking it to the streets
Since this is showcase has an air of finality to it, I’m hoping we get a full starting roster locked in forStreet Fighter 6as well. The lineup is strong so far, but I’m curious to see what else Capcom might have planned. There’scertainly no shortage of fightersto include from throughoutStreet Fighterhistory.
This adds Capcom’s next fighting game to a growing roster of game showcases and spotlights this month. Already, there’s both aTears of the Kingdomtrailer andFinal Fantasy XVI-centeredState of Playset to air tomorrow. WithStreet Fighter 6the week after, it’s getting crowded. But withZeldain May, andStreet FighterandFinal Fantasyin June, there’s really not a whole lot of time left before launch.
That’s all hitting ahead of the summer of gaming news, which is now fully without an E3 to tie it all together.Street Fighter 6will arrive within the summer games showcase window anyways, with a launch date of June 2. But this is a solid reminder that we’re really getting close to a window where some of the year’s heavy-hitters will start to roll out.
