Nuked Hello my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your favorite funny guy Nuked here to talk about the latest news in gaming. Street Fighter 6 is set to release in just over a month, but for those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on it, there’s good news. A new demo is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and will be coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC on April 26th.
What’s included in the demo, you ask? Well, players will get a chance to try out part of the game’s World Tour single-player mode, as well as build a custom avatar for World Tour that can be transferred to the full game at launch (assuming you’re playing on the same platform).
The demo was revealed as part of Thursday’s Street Fighter 6 Showcase, which also gave us some exciting new details about the game. For example, there will be four new characters added in the game’s first year: Rashid (from Street Fighter V) in summer 2023, A.K.I. in autumn 2023, Ed (first playable in Street Fighter V) in early winter 2024, and Akuma in spring 2024.
But that’s not all! The World Tour mode will have some RPG elements, including skill points and a skill tree. Players will also be able to take their World Tour avatar into online “Avatar Battles.” There are even new accessibility features, such as a control scheme that will auto-attack when you press a button.
One particularly cool feature is the Battle Damage feature, which allows characters to show wear and tear over the course of a fight. However, this feature is only available in “certain offline modes,” according to a press release.
There’s still much more to learn about Street Fighter 6, so I recommend watching the full showcase to get all the details. The game is set to launch on June 2nd, so mark your calendars!
Correction: In the original version of this article, we misspelled Rashid’s name. We apologize for the error.
