Capcom has warned fans not to expect Street Fighter VI any time soon, telling MCV that it hopes next week’s Street Fighter V will be enough to last an entire console generation.
“We’ve been quite honest in saying that Street Fighter V – the disc or digital edition – is the only version that you’ll ever need,” brand manager Brian Ayers told the site. “You’ll never have to buy or be forced to buy another iteration further down the line. What that means is you don’t split the player base. Everyone can always just buy that game and know that two, three years down the line and know they can jump back in whether they are just spectating or being a competitor.”
He continued: “We want Street Fighter V to last a console generation. That’s a very brave move from the business side of things. But that is how we are looking at the product as well. It’s not: ‘right, get it out, it’s the first six months and then it’s done’. We’re talking lifetime on this now in years rather than quarters, which I think is quite telling in itself.”
Capcom has no intention to release ‘Super’ or ‘Ultra’ editions of Street Fighter V, either, it says, despite the success of Street Fighter IV’s extra versions. Instead, all post-release content, including additional fighters, can be downloaded for free by spending an in-game currency called ‘Fight Money’, or accessed immediately using real-world cash.
Balancing and system adjustments will be available to all players completely free of charge.
Street Fighter V releases on PS4 and PC next Tuesday, February 16. It will never be available on Xbox One.
