Fans of the "Street Fighter" series will be happy to know that the game's franchise producer has provided more details about what we can expect in the upcoming game.
Speaking to Edge Magazine (via GamesRadar) for its newest issue, the team behind the video game has reached new heights.
"We've been working on Street Fighter 4 for the past seven years now. There's been a lot of rebalancing and so on, but the game is still going strong, even today," said Yoshinori Ono. "All this means that, with Street Fighter 5, we have a fantastic opportunity to create something with a larger scope, a game that encompasses all that Street Fighter has become in the last few years, but which also expands on that to become something it has never been before as well. So now we want to create something that nobody is expecting.
It's going to be a title that caters to fans, of course, but one that also invites completely new players onto the scene. Street Fighter 4 was about reviving a passion. Street Fighter 5 is about growing that passion."
In addition, there was also a discussion on Ono and the mentoring and feedback program they try to push forth.
"What I've learned over the years is that it's not always the loudest voices that you need to listen to," revealed Ono (via VG247) and added, "Often these people don't represent the masses. So it's a case of finding key people in communities around the world, those who aren't as visible perhaps, in order to hear their take."
Previously, characters confirmed to make a return include Ryu, Chun-Li, and Street Fighter Alpha veteran Charlie (Nash), reported CrossMap.
Capcom has also announced earlier that the game would be the "largest and most ambitious online beta program in franchise history."
