Street Fighter 6 reveals new characters, new modes, and closed beta details

destructoid.com:

Capcom brought the goods to Tokyo Game Show this morning, not only revealing four classic characters for its upcoming scrapper Street Fighter 6, but also lifting the lid on its multiplayer-based Battle Hub, and a wide variety of modes that lie within.

World Tour mode will see players develop their own fighter from scratch, fully customizing their bespoke fighter before traversing the Street Fighter universe to learn from some faithful SF World Warriors.

Players can pit their custom fighters against others within this world, or enter the Battle Hub to challenge other players from across the globe. Alongside standard one-on-one matches, players can also engage in the goofy new “Extreme Match” mode, which adds hazards, buffs, debuffs, and other silly hurdles to the battleground. In addition, when not fighting it out in the ring, players can enjoy some old-school Capcom classics, such as Street Fighter II and Final Fight, from within the hub’s own arcade.

A Closed Beta was also announced, which will take place on all platforms for the weekend October 7 — October 10. More details pertaining to throwing your name into the ring will follow.

Street Fighter 6 launches 2023 on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox platforms. In the meantime, be sure to check out our other reports on the game’s mechanics, our look at Juri and Kimberly, as well as our thoughts on the leaked character roster, and a list of Do’s and Do Not Do’s for the new sequel.
