The Street Fighter series is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2022. Fans are excited following the announcement that Street Fighter 6 will be coming sometime in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam!

Along with an announcement trailer, characters for the upcoming title have been revealed. Fan favorites Ryu, Jack, and Chun-Li are back along with all eight original ‘World Warriors’ characters from Street Fighter II. A new character for the sixth installment, Jamie, has also been revealed! The game will be powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, previously used to develop Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter Rise, and Resident Evil Village. Early footage of the game is extremely smooth, bringing the classic fighting game into a new generation. Fans will be able to engage with three distinct game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.

The beginning of the newly-released trailer shows off the World Tour mode, taking place in sprawling Metro City. The game will feature an extensive single-player adventure mode. What kinds of experiences await?

Street Fighter 6 will introduce a new ‘Drive’ System, allowing players more free reign when it comes to experimenting with how best to use a particular character. Five different techniques can be used when the Drive Gauge is filled, and these can be used to enhance a player’s offensive or defensive options. Players can also engage an Overdrive Art similar to EX Special Moves from past titles.

Fans will notice the TV show-like quality of the announcement trailer. Streamers will find this an incredibly enjoyable game to play while chatting with viewers, as Street Fighter 6 will include real-time in-game commentary with audio recorded by “well-known talent from the fighting game community.”

The parka is made of resilient nylon and can be easily worn with swim trunks!

Comment from Francesco Risso, MARNI Creative Director
“I was excited immediately at the beginning of the project. Every step of the way, we strove to uphold the integrity of UNIQLO’s spirit and vision. In doing so, we created our own interpretation of what UNIQLO LifeWear can be. By thinking outside the box, we were able to create products featuring both flawless craftsmanship and MARNI’s offbeat and forward-thinking spirit. I hope that by wearing items from this collection, you can enjoy the best summer of your life in your own way, freely, and with all your might.”
