Street Fighter 5 on PS4 and PC will benefit from the franchise’s largest ever online beta program, Capcom has announced.
Capcom says the tests will be “essential to collect your feedback and to ensure that Street Fighter 5 is the best iteration yet”.
Access to the beta in North America will be granted to those who pre-order, but we’re yet to hear details of beta enrolment in other territories.
More details, including timing on the beta program, will be revealed in the future.
A new Street Fighter 5 trailer announcing fan favourite character Charlie Nash has also been released. For those unclear on who Nash is, Capcom explains over on its community blog.
“First mentioned in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991) by Guile during his quest for revenge; Nash was a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and one of Guile’s best friends. Although it was hinted that M.Bison was involved in Charlie’s disappearance in the past, it was never really fully explained…
“..Until the Street Fighter Alpha series that is. In Street Fighter Alpha II (1996) we see firsthand that a helicopter controlled by M.Bison’s forces make quick work of Nash as M.Bison gets away. Initially presumed to be dead by both friends and foes alike, Nash’s return shows that his story is far from over.
“While the mysteries surrounding his return will become clear later on, for now we’re pleased to announce that the originator of the Sonic Boom is back with quite a few new tricks.”
Look out for more character reveals in the coming months.
