Street Fighter 6 Will Be Playable At Evo! More Announcements Planned

With Evo 2022 fast approaching, we have been given yet another reason to be excited for the tournament as it has been announced that the much anticipated Street Fighter 6 will be making an appearance at the event. Not only that, but a playable demo will be made available for players and fans of the game. 

The announcement comes hot on the heels of Capcom's decision to also showcase Street Fighter 6 at the San Diego comic con later this month. 

According to the Evo, the playable game at the event will feature the four main characters released so far: Ryu, Chun li, Luke and series newbie, Jamie. Unfortunately, even though he has been announced as a playable character, Guile will not be available at Evo this year. Interested fans can play the game in the Capcom and Sony booths at the event. 

Rick Thiher, the General Manager of Evo expressed great excitement at this announcement saying, “The Street Fighter series is responsible for the origin of Evo. We are beyond excited to welcome Capcom to this year’s event and give our fans the opportunity to check out Street Fighter 6,

“We are committed to collaborating with publishers like Capcom in an effort to celebrate the legacy of our genre and inspire the next generation of the fighting game community.”

The reaction to this announcement has been overwhelmingly positive with professional players and fans alike drooling at the chance to try out the game for the first time.
