Street Fighter 6

Fighting Ground contains local and online versus battles as well as training and arcade modes, all featuring similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. Battle Hub acts as an online lobby mode, with other features set to be revealed in the future. The main fighting gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is based around the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. The game features two control types: the "classic" control scheme has a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous entries, while the "modern" control scheme assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input. The use of multiple super combos returns from the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, also counting the Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. On February 21, 2022, Street Fighter VI was announced, teasing the return of Ryu and Luke, the latter of whom debuted in Street Fighter V's final downloadable content "season." On June 2, 2022, a gameplay trailer was shown at PlayStation's June State of Play. The trailer announced the World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Grounds modes, showed the return of Chun-Li, and introduced two new characters named Jamie and Kimberly. It is being developed on the RE Engine, and has been reported to support cross-platform play and rollback netcode. A prequel comic book series of the same name by UDON Entertainment was announced on November 9, 2022, which explains how this game heavily focuses on Ken and Luke’s stories. The main theme song for the game is titled "Not on the Sidelines", produced by GRP and rappers Rocco 808 and Randy Marx. The official video clip of the song also features artists Sumi Oshima and Benny Diar, and is directed and edited by Ross Harris. According to lead composer Yoshiya Terayama, the soundtrack was influenced by hip-hop culture and intended to represent "a new generation for the series." Rather than arranging motifs, the character theme songs are based on new compositions, with the concept being the characters if they appeared on the streets.
