Street Fighter 5 Release Date, News: Game Designer Yoshinori Ono Teases A Game That 'Nobody is Expecting'
Capcom's fighting game franchise, "Street Fighter," remains one of the most popular video games today. Its latest iteration, "Street Fighter IV," which was released in 2008 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, received multiple accolades including "Best Graphics" and "Best Production" awards from several gaming review publications.
Game franchise director Yoshinori Ono revealed that the next installment will offer something unexpected for the fans.
"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," Ono told Edge magazine.

The game director went on to reveal that like the game's ever-growing fan base, SF V receives so much enthusiasm from Capcom itself.
"The greenlight process for Street Fighter 5 was comfortably the most straightforward. This game was probably a hundred times easier to get off the ground than the previous one," he said.
"The passion around Street Fighter is currently such that the internal team within Capcom has been incredibly eager. There have been far fewer obstacles and far less stress. In personal terms, Street Fighter 5 represents something new for me too," Ono added.
"Street Fighter V" is reported to be released exclusively for PlayStation 4 and PC sometime in the spring of 2016.
