There have been further reports that the countdown timer revealed by Capcom will time the announcement of a new Street Fighter game.
Jeff Grubb of GiantBomb has revealed that “multiple sources” have confirmed the game Capcom’s teaser site is counting down to is Street Fighter 6. In the videocast, which was transcribed by VGC, Grubb says “Everybody should expect Street Fighter 6, because that’s what I have heard.” Grubb is a reliable source of industry information who has accurately revealed a number of forthcoming announcements in the past.
The countdown ends Monday, February 21 6 AM GMT when the new game is expected to be announced. While the teaser is scarce, many signs point to the timer being related to the Street Fighter series. 2022 marks the fighting franchises 35th anniversary and, in January, Capcom unveiled the anniversary logo, while also saying: “Please look forward to the future development of the Street Fighter series”.
