Return of the King! UDON has a Street Fighter Origins: Sagat mini-series in the works for 2018

The King of Muay Thai has been gone for a while… but not forgotten!

Fans craving some more action from the absent ex-Heavenly King of Shadaloo have something to look forward to in 2018, as UDON Entertainment’s Publishing Director Matt Moylan tweeted the news that UDON is working on a four-issue Street Fighter Origins: Sagat mini-series, in the same vein as the excellent Street Fighter Origins: Akuma from back in 2013.

Could this also be further evidence that Sagat might be finally joining the Street Fighter V roster next year? Right now, we can only hope!

cpt-2016-na-640

Red Bull has announced that the Capcom Pro Tour North American Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds will take place at The Castle in Boston, MA, on November 18-19, 2017. According to Red Bull: “The art-deco style of The Castle in Boston will provide a fantastical backdrop for the tournament. This historical landmark is reminiscent of the Street Fighter V “Union Station” stage, giving attendees the opportunity to feel like they are in the game.”

Starting on Saturday, November 18, hundreds of challengers from around the continent will gather at the two-day event for a 512-player open bracket tournament, and a chance at winning a spot at the grand finals on Sunday. The champions from the regional monthly Red Bull Proving Grounds tournaments will also get a seat at the open bracket qualifier. On Sunday, the top 7 players from the Capcom Pro Tour regional leaderboards — and the winner from Saturday’s last chance open qualifier — will then battle in an 8-player bracket for North America’s Street Fighter V top spot.

Keep an eye on the Red Bull Battle Grounds page and here at Shoryuken for more details.

Ashes of Creation – Grouping is an Essential Part of the Game

A new blog post on the Ashes of Creation site details how grouping will function in the game. It is the first in a two part series dealing with the topic, this first post covering the basics. While soloing is viable, according to the post, the team is looking to put the “massive” back in Massive Multiplayer. As a result, base party size will be up to 8, thereby allowing “us to really amplify party roles and to create a need for each of the archetypes in every party”.
