You know, it’s hard not to feel sorry for Capcom on this one. Just a few days ago, it unveiled Street Fighter 6 to the world via a fantastic trailer that aired during Sony’s State of Play<\/strong> broadcast. The upcoming PS5 and PS4 brawler looks like an absolute knockout, and it’s had fans going wild ever since. But within a mere 24 hours of the big reveal, what seemed to be the game’s entire launch roster<\/em> leaked, complete with artwork for each character.<\/p>\n

Obviously we’re all familiar with video game leaks, but this was on a scale that we rarely see. We didn’t report on the leaks because it honestly seemed a bit unfair; modern fighting games spend months<\/em> drip feeding information and announcing characters one by one – it’s a tried and tested blueprint for building hype. But Street Fighter 6’s road to release has been completely blown apart by the leaks – everyone already knows which characters are locked in.<\/p>\n

Is it cool knowing that your favorite fighters are making a return? Of course, and the general reaction to the leaks has been overwhelmingly positive – mostly because it looks like a rock solid roster, and the new character designs are largely excellent. But it’s still a real blow for Capcom going forward.<\/p>\n

The developer’s taking it pretty well, though. It’s published a tweet that outright acknowledges the leaks, which is something that we very rarely see.<\/p>\n
