Capcoms twitter account posted a tweet on valentines day, which featured a link to a blank screen and a clock, counting down the number of days and hours remaining until… something…

As of right, there are less than 6 days until the clock reaches zero, although what exactly that means is unclear, but there has been a lot of speculation on what it may be. Right now there are two major theories. One revolves arround the fact tha the current Capcom Pro Tour for street fighter 5 will end on february 20th, the same day the countdown is set to end, which would make a good opportunity for capcom to announce streetfighter 6.
Streetfighter 5 came out 6 years ago now and capcom has also recently mentioned that it is looking ahead to “the future of Street Fighter”. There where also rumors back in 2020 that street fighter 6 had been delayed back to this year, due to capcom not beind happy with the games mechanics.
The other main option would be the Rumored Resident Evil 4 Remake, which has not been officially announced as even being real. The clocks font does bare resemblance to the Font used in the recent resident evil 2 and 3 remakes. It has also recently rumored that this game (which again, we dont even know is real) will be switching timelines and going for a darker tone than the original Resident evil 4. Now, personally, I think this is a horrible Idea. Resident Evil 4 is beloved in part for how stupid it is, and taking the game in a darker direction for a remake would ruin that otherwise perfect vibe.
Either way, it will be interesting to see what comes of this when the count reaches zero.
