Some Avenue Fighter on 4/20

Capcom is internet hosting a brand new showcase for the upcoming Avenue Fighter 6 on April 20. The brand new and, from the sounds of it, remaining prolonged take a look at Avenue Fighter 6 will apparently have some “huge information.”

The present will air on Capcom’s YouTube channel at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET on April 20. It’s set to host over half an hour of “huge information and bulletins,” all in regards to the upcoming SF6.

Internet hosting the entire present shall be Lil Wayne. It’s an attention-grabbing choose, for certain. But it surely’s not precisely the primary time the artist has crossed over with Avenue Fighter, both.

In accordance with the YouTube premiere description, there shall be particulars on World Tour, the Battle Hub, and the Preventing Floor. Moreover, Capcom is promising some “huge information on the finish of the present.” Truthfully, some a part of me needs that to be Lil Wayne becoming a member of the roster. If that occurs, we are able to simply hope it goes higher than different cameos have.

Taking it to the streets

Since that is showcase has an air of finality to it, I’m hoping we get a full beginning roster locked in for Avenue Fighter 6 as properly. The lineup is robust up to now, however I’m curious to see what else Capcom might need deliberate. There’s actually no scarcity of fighters to incorporate from all through Avenue Fighter historical past.

This provides Capcom’s subsequent preventing sport to a rising roster of sport showcases and spotlights this month. Already, there’s each a Tears of the Kingdom trailer and Ultimate Fantasy XVI-centered State of Play set to air tomorrow. With Avenue Fighter 6 the week after, it’s getting crowded. However with Zelda in Might, and Avenue Fighter and Ultimate Fantasy in June, there’s actually not a complete lot of time left earlier than launch.

That’s all hitting forward of the summer season of gaming information, which is now totally with out an E3 to tie all of it collectively. Avenue Fighter 6 will arrive throughout the summer season video games showcase window in any case, with a launch date of June 2. However this can be a stable reminder that we’re actually getting near a window the place among the yr’s heavy-hitters will begin to roll out.
