Capcom announces that Street Fighter 6 is on the way
(Pocket-lint) — Capcom teased fans with a cryptic countdown clock before finally announcing the latest entrant into the Street Fighter franchise.
It has been 6 years since the launch of Street Fighter 5, which had a mixed reception at launch but was much better received after updates like its Arcade Edition and Champion Edition.
The announcement followed the end of Capcom's Pro Tour tournament for Street Fighter 5, hinting that esports will be a focus area for the new game.

There's not a lot we can tell from the little information given, but Capcom promises more details this summer.
