The trailer, website, and Capcom’s own Twitter feeds seemingly confirm that the new Street Fighter is dropping the roman numerals from its title – it’s referred to as Street Fighter 6 rather than Street Fighter VI, unlike every other game in the series. Beyond this, there’s not much to go on, although Capcom promises that more news on SF6 is coming this Summer – perhaps around E3 time. Hopefully that’ll include a release date, as we don’t even know what year Capcom is aiming for right now.
