News: Today is a big day for fighting fans with the teaser trailer of Street Fighter 6 and the reveal of a pretty massive fighting collection.

Over the weekend Capcom teased the next entry in the Street Fighter franchise during the Capcom Pro Tour 2021 Season Final. In addition, they also revealed the Capcom Fighting Collection which will have a number of different Capcom fighting franchises in one package.

Street Fighter 6 is now officially in development according to a press release that Capcom sent out. The teaser trailer (see below) showcased a small fraction of what is to come as Ryu encounters a brand new character, 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. Unfortunately, that is all of the details that we have right now. Capcom has promised that we will get more details this summer.

Before Street Fighter 6 arrives, fans will have the opportunity to pick up the Capcom Fighting Collection. This will be an anthology of 10 classic titles, including the full Darkstalkers series together for the first time ever outside of Japan. Each of the 10 titles in the collection has been revitalized with online multiplayer, enhanced features, and quality of life updates.

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.

You will also be able to take the fight online to showcase your abilities in all 10 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 various gameplay balance 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 awaits.
