Capcom has announced development of Street Fighter IV, the next iteration of the genre-establishing fighting game series. This marks the first new entry announced in nearly eight years, following Street Fighter III: Third Strike.
In its twenty-year history, Street Fighter has revolutionised the fighting genre and created a global legacy. Few details have been released on the new game, outside of the preview trailer that was released in October.
Capcom has announced the return of four classic 'World Warriors' in Street Fighter IV: returning favourites Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim. The characters and environments are rendered in stylised 3D graphics, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. The traditional six-button controls for the game will return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the input system and mixing tried-and-true classic moves and techniques with all-new, never-before-seen gameplay systems.
Capcom claims that everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in arcades, living rooms and dormitories all over the world has been brought to bear here, with even more surprises.
With the inclusion of Capcom's latest advancements in new generation technology, Street Fighter IV promises to deliver an "extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honoured art of virtual martial arts".
