Capcom today delivered a one-two punch during the Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Final with a sneak peek at the highly-anticipated Street Fighter 6 and the reveal of Capcom Fighting Collection.
Street Fighter 6, the next evolution of the renowned Street Fighter series, which has sold more than 47 million units since it came onto the scene 35 years ago, is now in development.
The teaser trailer, which you can watch on YouTube, showcases a glimpse of the future of Street Fighter as series mainstay Ryu locks horns with new challenger Luke.
The 45th and final character in the Street Fighter V roster was teased to have a key role in the next Street Fighter project, which has now been confirmed. Capcom says more details will be shared this summer.
While the excitement for the next chapter in the Street Fighter saga builds, fans can kick off celebrating 35 years of Capcom fighting games with Capcom Fighting Collection, an anthology of 10 classic titles – including the full Darkstalkers series together for the first time ever outside of Japan. You can watch the announcement trailer here.
Each of the ten titles in the collection has been revitalized with online multiplayer, enhanced features, and quality-of-life updates.
Capcom Fighting Collection will be released digitally on June 24, 2022, for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Xbox One. Capcom Fighting Collection will also join forces with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and unleash a heavy-hitting combo in Capcom Fighting Bundle, launching digitally on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Xbox One.
Capcom Fighting Collection unites all five Darkstalkers games for the first time outside of Japan, including Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge, Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire, and previously Japan-only titles Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers’ Revenge and Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire.
The anthology also features the first release of Red Earth outside arcades and is joined by fan favorites Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, and Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness.
These classics rank among the most acclaimed fighting games to appear in arcades and introduced the world to many iconic and beloved characters ranging from Chun-Li to Morrigan Aensland.
Players can now take the fight online to showcase their abilities in all ten titles across ranked, casual, and custom matches. Online multiplayer is supported by a robust rollback netcode to provide a low-latency experience in online battles.
Training Mode has been added to help novices and veterans alike learn the ropes and hone their skills. The all-in-one package also incorporates an array of new local versus options, gameplay adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements such as mid-game saves.
Fans can dive deeper into these classics and even peek behind the scenes of their creation with the in-game Museum. This gallery features more than 500 works of art, including concept sketches and design documents from the titles.
Audiophiles can also rock out to the Music Player, where an expansive library of more than 400 songs await.
