The beloved staple in the fighting game industry is revealed to have a sequel with more information coming this summer

A countdown that video game publisher Capcom has posted had ended to reveal a new Street Fighter 6 is in development. The impressive new look for the franchise is teased in this teaser trailer:

This teaser trailer had debuted on the weekend following the Capcom Pro Tour finals, after revealing Capcom Fighting Collection — a collection of 90s Capcom fighters with new online capabilities. The Street Fighter 6 trailer, however, featured a more realistic looking and sweat-soaked bearded Ryu standing against Luke, a downloadable newcomer in Street Fighter V who had been said to play a prominent role in this installment of Street Fighter. While no details have been shared, Capcom looks to be aiming for a more realistic and Tekken-like tone for its new fighting installment.

Street Fighter 6 remains without a release date but Capcom has promised to announce more this summer, which speculations have led to be during the Summer Game Fest 2022 between June and July.

Street Fighter 6 had been previously rumored to be released during autumn 2021 before it had been delayed to 2022. This was most likely due to Capcom being satisfied with how the new installment was turning out. This may be backed up with Street Fighter 5 receiving a new season pass at the last minute, in order to give Capcom more time to spend on tweaking and finalizing Street Fighter 6.

A notable development to be mindful of is that according to leaked documents, during a time when Capcom was held hostage in a ransomware cyberattack, a direction that Street Fighter 6 will pursue will aim for less sexualization of its female characters. The publisher apparently regrets its past decisions that were highlighted in previous games, such as the eventually censored “butt slap” that R. Mika had done during her Critical Art in Street Fighter 5, and will now be looking to significantly improve gender representation for the female cast.

The last mainline installment in Street Fighter was Street Fighter 5 which was released back in 2016 as a console exclusive for PlayStation 4. An intriguing consideration circulating online is which platforms it will be released on, whether it will be a PlayStation exclusive or be playable on the Xbox as well.

We will have to find out once Capcom announces more during the summer!

SNK’s next game in the “King of Fighters” series  is set to launch soon and will be available in beta on PS4 and PS5 in “less than a month”.

During Play station’s “state of play” stream yesterday, SNK introduced “King of Fighters XV”’s latest character, Dolores, and also gave details on the upcoming beta for the game

.

The open beta will begin at 3am GMT on the 20th of November, and run until the 23rd of November at 2.59 am.

“King of fighters” is one of the older fighting game franchises out there, starting back in 1994, with the last entry coming out back in 2016 with “king of fighters XIV”. The Franchise regularly gets airtime at EVO, effectively the fighting game Olympics, and that was actually where “King of Fighter XV” was originally announced.

Rumours have started for a fighting brawl game designed for Warner Bros characters, but how true is it?

Crossovers have always been one of my favourite things in life, for video games and any other types of media. The idea that you can perfectly blend two or more completely separate IPs together and make their worlds work will always amaze me. Take for example the recently released Nickelodeon’s All-Star Brawl fighting game, or better yet those Disney Channel TV shows crossovers that hold more nostalgia to them than physically possible.

Yet there are some crossovers that leave me questioning if they will genuinely work. Like what happened with Space Jam 2 which left me feeling more bamboozled if anything. Yet Warner Bros might have another crossover up their sleeve thanks to rumours that have started for their own fighting brawl game.

Multiversus

The rumours began on a Reddit post by GamingLeaksAndRumours that claimed a crossover platform fighter game titled “Multiverse” is in development and will include characters such as Shaggy, Johnny Bravo, Mad Max, Gandalf, Tom & Jerry, Batman, and Fred Flintstone.

So far, there’s very little proof that a Warner Bros smash-style game is being created, apart from the fact there’s a trademark application of the title ‘Multiversus’.

It is also stated in the post that the origin of the game has come from the Shaggy ‘Ultra Instinct Form’ meme that was storming the internet a while back.

One thing the post got wrong was that it was rumoured NetherRealm would be the developer for the crossover game, yet that has since been debunked by Jeff Grubb himself. There is no telling who the developer will be this early on, yet they certainly have their work cut out of them to make this ambitious crossover successful.

I mean, who doesn’t want to see Shaggy take on Gandolf? or Tom & Jerry annihilate Batman?

Get ready for the next battle, one last time…

In the two-and-a-half years that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out, we have received 11 DLC characters. Each character belonging to different game titles and series. Examples include Persona 5’s Joker, Final Fantasy VII’S Sephiroth, Minecraft’s Steve and Alex etc.

With the addition of Tekken’s Kazuya (revealed at E3, 2021) on June 29th (later today), there is only one more spot. There is a heated debate regarding whom the last spot should go to. Many of the characters, both DLC and base game, are from titles that do not belong to Nintendo. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an industry uniting franchise in that respect. We have seen characters from different historic franchises come together to form a special Super Smash roster.

At the heart of Super Smash, however, it is, of course, a Nintendo franchise. As it is the last DLC character, I believe this last character should be rooted in Nintendo’s rich history. Giving the slot to a random character would not feel conclusive or do the franchise justice. In a way, it would feel like watching an amazing TV series just for the ending to leave you unsatisfied. I think it’s important for the last character to have as much of an iconic history as the game itself.

As a fan base, we want a character who really resonates with us. A character who reconnects us with a series or franchise again through Smash, much like Tekken’s Kazuya will do for many players (including myself). It is an important and difficult decision for Nintendo. It is likely that they already know who the last character will be. I just hope their choice leaves us feeling fulfilled for years to come.

Who do you guys think the last spot should go to? Let us know in the comments.

“It’s about finding the right team and the right opportunity”…

Killer Instinct is a series of fighting video games originally created by Rare and published by Midway, Nintendo, and Microsoft Studios. The original Killer Instinct was released for arcades in 1994; the game was then released for the Super NES and Game Boy in 1995. Its popularity led to a sequel, Killer Instinct 2, released for arcades in 1996; the game was then released as Killer Instinct Gold for the Nintendo 64.

The most recent instalment was the series reboot Killer Instinct (2013) for the Xbox One.

Microsoft head of gaming Phil Spencer has now discussed the possibility of a return for the Killer Instinct series.

During the latest Dropped Frames podcast on Wednesday, he stated, “there are so many good games in our catalogue that we’d love to visit…the response when we redid KI at the launch of Xbox One was fantastic.”

“I will just say, [Xbox Game Studios head] Matt [Booty] and I have discussed many times KI and where we would like to go with it, and it’s not out of our minds that—it might be out of our minds—but it’s in our hearts and in our minds that we want to continue to do something with KI.

“It’s about finding the right team and the right opportunity,” Spencer added, “but it is not due to any kind of lack of desire on our part that we’re not doing more with KI because we love the franchise and the community response.”

In a 2019 Game Informer interview, Booty noted, “It’s been a few years now, but I was fortunate enough to work with the team who rebooted Killer Instinct,” he said. “That really came about because there was an energy and a passion for it.

“Those are the scenarios that I love, and I think that those tend to work out a little better than trawling through a spreadsheet going, ‘ah, nobody’s done this in a while, maybe we could reboot that one’.

“I think when somebody has a personal passion for it, it can really work out.”

This comes as great news for any fans of the KI series; a next-gen instalment could be on the cards.

Tekken x Street Fighter is no longer in development, Tekken’s Katsuhito Harada reports.

Tekken X Street Fighter was announced by Bandai Namco at the 2010 San Diego Comic-con, alongside Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken. Street Fighter X Tekken was released 2 years later, in 2012. However, 11 years later, we still haven’t received Tekken X Street Fighter.

Street Fighter X Tekken was made by Capcom (as opposed to Bandai Namco). The core game mechanics were based on the 2D gameplay of Street Fighter, with the game including projectile-based moves such as the iconic Hadouken, dissimilar to that of the Tekken series.

Namco was set to release their own version of the series, which would follow their 3D gameplay style. Tekken X Street Fighter, however, had its development paused in 2016. As a result, we had heard little regarding any new developments on the game until recently, when Harada confirmed that development had been completely abandoned.

Bandai Namco consistently assured us that the game was still coming over the years. Unfortunately, however, that day will not come any time soon.

This is tough news to take for any hardcore fighting game fans who had waited these long 11 years to see some of your favourite franchise characters clash in a Tekken format.

Harada had previously said that they had developed about 30 percent of the game. He pointed out that from a motion standpoint, much of what they worked on was on display with the iconic Street Fighter character Akuma’s introduction into Tekken 7’s Roster.

Separate to character motions, Harada explained that they had a desire to show the character models they developed to all of us, but they would need co-operation by Capcom to do so.

In a VGC interview in 2019, Harada noted that with the continual success of Tekken 7 and its DLC, Tekken X Street Fighter was becoming harder and harder to justify. He notes that typically a fighting game has a 1-2-year lifespan, but the perpetual success of Tekken 7 (due to the DLC content) made investing in another fighting game irrational. Tekken 7, the most recent instalment in the Tekken series has accumulated over seven million players. Therefore, Tekken X Street Fighter has simply fizzled out.

Maybe one-day development will continue. Until then, we will simply have to remain patient and hopeful.
