Street Fighter V to Launch on February 16, Dhalsim Returns

While we all hold our breath for Ono’s next Street Fighter V reveal, news has leaked from Paris Games Week concerning when the community will finally be able to get their hands on the game.

According to Eurogamer Portugal, Capcom is prepared to launch Street Fighter V on February 16. This falls a little short of their proposed spring release window, but sooner is certainly better than later!

But that’s not all. The article also confirms Dhalsim will return to the playable cast, and Capcom is apparently readying six additional characters for post-launch release, raising the base cast of 16 to 22 throughout 2016.

The article in question was quickly taken down, but you’ll find a cached version by following the link below.

Yoshinori Ono Teases Street Fighter V Reveal at Paris Games Week

UPDATE – Well, that was fast! Details on what Ono was likely to reveal can be found here.

As he has often done in the lead-up to Street Fighter V, executive producer Yoshinori Ono jumped on Twitter earlier this morning to tease another reveal. This time around, the announcement is scheduled for Paris Games Week, but could be coming much sooner than usual.

While the convention is scheduled to last throughout the week, PlayStation is ready to kick things off early with an opening press conference today. In fact, their presentation will be live in just under an hour. Luckily, folks outside of France can tune in through their official broadcast, which we assume will be available in English as well as French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Who could it be? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
