Earlier this Summer, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed that Street Fighter V was in “the early planning stages” within the walls of Capcom. This morning, Capcom accidentally posted a teaser trailer announcing the game… which is apparently exclusively in development for the PC and PS4. That’s not to say it’ll never be released for the Xbox One, but initially, Street Fighter V will only be available on those two platforms.
Capcom’s original video has since been scrubbed from the Internet, but you can still watch it over at Polygon. It’s likely that the video was meant to make its debut at tonight’s inaugural Game Awards or tomorrow’s opening day of the PlayStation Experience (which has several “To Be Announced” slots penciled in on the schedule). Both events are promising multiple surprise announcements and trailers (though one less now).
Capcom plans to promote the game by asking gamers to “Rise Up” and the trailer heavily plays up the franchise’s connection to the fighting game community. Presumably, we’ll find out exactly what these plans are within the next 24 hours.
