New character Luke gets a lot of screen time in the teaser.For longtime fans of the series, the trailer was particularly interesting for a few reasons, notably: It also appears to feature a custom character – whether this is the one and same character you use in the Battle Hub remains to be seen.Following a brief countdown in February 2022, Capcom released a teaser trailer officially announcing the upcoming Street Fighter 6 that featured a pose-off between Ryu and Luke, presumably before a battle. Again, little is known about this mode right now but it is described by Capcom as an ‘immersive single player mode’ and looks quite unlike anything seen in previous Street Fighter titles. This appears to be an open world hub based on Metro City (the setting for arcade classic Final Fight) where you can meet characters from Street Fighter and its extended universe, punch bins and pick fights with the inhabitants. If this is the case, it is similar to the lobbies found in Arc Systemworks titles, although there are a few other things that catch the eye – are those classic Capcom fighting games on some of the cabinets? Can they be played? No doubt there will be more information in the coming months.įinally, and most interestingly, there’s the World Tour mode.

There’s only been one, short clip of the ‘Battle Hub’, so everything is being extrapolated from minimal footage, but it appears to be a kind of online lobby that you can roam with what appears to be a custom avatar, sitting down at arcade machines and challenging other players to matches. First up is the ‘Fighting Ground’, which appears to be where you can play local multiplayer, fight the A.I and, more than likely, is where the training modes will be found, with Capcom stating that ‘all of the modes found in Street Fighter 5 can now be found in Fighting Ground’, so expect the usual arcade ladders and survival modes here too. Capcom has confirmed that gameplay will be split up into three separate and considerable Street Fighter 6 game modes.
