Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V (ストリートファイターV) is the upcoming newest main installment in the Street Fighter series. It will be released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC, on which cross-platform multiplayer will be available. There has been no mention of an arcade version so far.

Gameplay
Based on the demonstration given at Capcom Cup, there are a few returning mechanics from the Street Fighter IV series, most notably the Revenge Gauge. There also hints that there will be selectable Super Arts from the Street Fighter III series, based on the different number of EX stocks given by Ryu and Chun-li in the demonstration.

The overall gameplay appears to be less polished than Street Fighter IV, with certain attacks moving a bit more sluggish, giving a more realistic feel. There are also destructible walls at the end of the stage, creating a new area to battle in. EX moves will appear in the game in the same manner as in the Street Fighter IV series.

Plot
At the moment, exact plot details have yet to be released. However, the first gameplay trailer hints that the game will chronologically take place after Street Fighter IV and possibly around Street Fighter III, as Ryu is seen using the Denjin Hadoken, one of his Super Art moves in the SFIII games. On a minor relevant note, Ryu's default outfit is in its most battered condition yet.

Development
In 2011, former Capcom employee Seth Killian suggested that Street Fighter V would arrive before 2019, saying "If I have anything to say about it, and I do, you will not have to wait ten years for Street Fighter 5". In July 2013, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono commented that while he desired to make a Street Fighter V for an eighth-generation console, such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a next-generation game would require a large staff and a large budget. He also stated that making the game a free-to-play title was an option, though he was not fully open to it, and confirmed that the game was currently not in development. In June 2014, Ono refuted claims that Street Fighter V would include a "pay to win option", citing that Street Fighter V is still in the early planning stages.

On December 5, 2014, a teaser trailer for Street Fighter V was unintentionally released by Capcom to the public before being taken down again. The official announcement was made at Sony's PlayStation Experience event on December 6.

The first gameplay demonstration of Street Fighter V took place at the Capcom Cup grand finals tournament on Saturday, December 13 2014 in San Francisco, CA. In the gameplay trailer presented at the end of the Cup, Street Fighter Alpha character Charlie was hinted at making some kind of appearance through a quick sequence, appearing at the trailer's end. Yoshinori Ono also dressed up as Charlie to further promote his appearance in the game.
