But as they say, everything has an expiration date; fans requested for a Street Fighter 6 to drop soon. To this, Capcom announced the title on February 21, 2022, promising to drop it soon. Plus, they kept publishing updates, character announcements, and beta testing to keep the fanbase intact. But now, it looks like fresh leaks have slipped out the official release date, adding to the game’s hype. 

Fresh leaks hint toward a June 2023 release date for Capcom’s Street Fighter 6

However, Capcom decided to stay mum about the official release date as they already had plans set up for the coming fiscal year. The franchise’s recent financial report promised a new title to drop in the first quarter, confirming SF6 to drop later. As they have Resident Evil 4 lined up, they can’t release it before March 2023. And fresh leaks have stormed the internet, acting as a catalyst for their theories.

PlayStation user BestBrosPlay has uploaded a Twitter post confirming Street Fighter 6’s release date. The Twitter user posted a bunch of photos and videos featuring the game’s release date, followed by more information about the same. From everything that one can see, it looks like the game will have Deluxe and Ultimate versions that might go out on pre-order soon. 

However, Capcom has not posted any information or hints regarding the same, keeping its fans in the dark. So, it’s best to let things play out the way they are planned, as we all know Capcom worked hard for it. 

Although, with the Game Awards lined up on Friday, December 9, one can keep little hope for a possible announcement.
