Yesterday, November 23, Capcom published a post in its official blog speaking of luke, the last additional character to Street Fighter V. Speaking of the update and the fighter, the game developers also hinted that the next game in the franchise – maybe Street Fighter 6 – will be revealed soon next year, 2022.
At the beginning of the video talking about the update, Shuhei Matsumoto, the series’ producer, comments that “Luke is an important character who will appear in the next project of the Street Fighter, so hopefully you’ll try to use it when it comes out on Street Fighter V!”
In addition to mentioning an “upcoming project” for Street Fighter, game executives also hinted that we may have news about this next year. Matsumoto comments at another time: “while this is the end of this series of videos for the Street Fighter V, this is more a ‘see you soon’ than a ‘goodbye’. We look forward to providing more information next year!”
The announcement that Luke is confirmed as a character in the next project is a great indication that the game’s development is in full swing. Takayuki Nakayama, director of Street Fighter V, also commented on the matter: “For us, Street Fighter V it was a project with ups and downs, but thanks to our fans we managed to achieve what we wanted. We, the developer team, are going to use this experience as a boost to move to the next project!”
