The date was also shared on ResetEra, at which point the cat was out of the punching bag. Street Fighter 6 was announced back in February, and given a 2023 release window in summer. Although old faves such as Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, and Guile are returning, we’ll also get to play as newcomers Kimberly and Jamie. Kimberly’s a graffiti artist who loves the Eighties, while Jamie enjoys breakdancing and a good ol’ fashioned cuppa. I’m partial to both Eighties nostalgia and tea-drinking myself, so I’m quite up for trying these two out. Capcom recently revealed that another round of closed beta is due to begin for Street Fighter 6 on December 16th, running through until December 19th. That should give more players a go with eight of the game’s characters, along with another chance for everyone who made it into the first closed beta back in October. You can still apply for the second closed beta if you want to put your name in the hat, but be aware that you’ll need to link a Capcom ID to Steam if you want to be considered this time around. Street Fighter 6 is due to hit Steam in 2023, but no official confirmation’s come from Capcom about just when yet. We might see more at The Game Awards, which are just a few hours away. Keep an eye out for our coverage later on. For more of the latest news and trailers, check out our Game Awards 2022 hub. We also live-blogged the show as it happened right here.
