Multiple
Sources Claim Capcom will Announce Street Fighter 6 at Capcom Pro
Tour Season Finals
|
|
|
|
 Capcom's
ongoing mystery countdown concludes
at the Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Finals this Sunday. Fighting Game fans
already have more than a few reasons to suspect a big announcement from
Capcom during Sunday's Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Finals... and now, several sources have claimed that Capcom's countdown
and reveal DOES involve the highly-anticipated Street Fighter 6
—
which
Capcom previously confirmed is in development. According to VideoGamesChronicle,
multiple
sources
including GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, claim that Capcom will indeed
be announcing something regarding Street Fighter 6 this
weekend. 
|
"Everybody should expect Street Fighter 6, because that's what I
have heard," said Jeff Grubb in his latest GiantBomb
video show. Although Capcom has yet to confirm the announcement involves
its flagship fighting franchise, the fact that the countdown coincides
with the conclusion of the CPT '21 Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Season
Finals definitely seems intentional at this point. According to Capcom's website, the reveal will
take place at 1am ET / 6am GT on Monday, February
21st (or Sunday at 10pm PT).
Street Fighter V
originally released in 2016 on PlayStation 4 and PC. The game was
updated to SFV:
Arcade Edition in 2017, followed by Champion
Edition in 2020 — spanning five Seasons of content and
over 2000 DLC items. Six years after the original launch of Street
Fighter V seems like a more-than-appropriate time to finally unveil Street
Fighter 6. In January, Capcom announced the 35th
Anniversary of the series and told fans, "Please look forward to
the future development of the Street Fighter series."
[UPDATE] 
Capcom has officially announced
Street Fighter 6!
The
Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Final runs February 17 – 20, 2022.
RobTV and Brian_Flead kick off the festivities with a special 5-vs-5 Street
Fighter V: Champion Edition exhibition team tournament featuring top
players from North America. You can find more information about the event
at the CPT official
site.
Fighters Generation was invited by Capcom Fighters to
co-stream the event and the conclusion of the countdown!
So if you're not busy, tune in tomorrow night and hang out on TFG's Twitch
channel for Capcom's reveal! As always, keep it here on FightersGeneration.com
for more updates and continued coverage.
