im fine with the game having a long life if there is indeed big long term plans for it but in the last two weeks we've been told world tour is winding down and S4 will have zero new stages
like what is the plan here
I think what's the most annoying/insidious part of this is we can make assumptions but what does this actually mean? Did it help code? (AI usually doesnt code as well as humans), generate text? Did it generate placeholder art? (Still bad, pay your concept artists) This isnt clear
An entirely new story is about to unfold.
Persona 6 is officially announced for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud, Steam, and PlayStation 5!

But no seriously we ARENT doing world tour stuff for new characters? How are we supposed to enjoy them outside the paragraphs worth of dialogue in arcade mode?
Maybe people don't actually care and just prefer looks. But just feels like they aren't trying to push OGs as hard
@TheAkimiSato Probably wouldn't be as much of an issue if we didn't only get 4 characters or balance was good. Tbh I like that they are bringing newcomers. But yeah there's plenty that don't like guests when to them they could've just added a returning character. Im overall indifferent.
They're actually doing it
When Tifa releases I wouldn't be surprised if Street Fighter 6 breaks 100k concurrent players on steam
Happy to see some brand new characters also in the mix for the first time since A.K.I.
So I agree that SF6 roster was way too safe and we need more OGs. Arjun looks like Old Man Ryu tho. Everyone else can bitch about Tifa it's whatever to me I didnt expect anything super new.
Year 4 of #StreetFighter6 welcomes Tifa from the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series!
🗡️ Yasmine - August 3, 2026
💨 Arjun - Autumn 2026
