Last night the last Street Fighter 6 Showcase was held, and among the various news announced for its new fighting game, Capcom also announced that on April 26th the playable demo of the title will finally arrive on Xbox, thus allowing us to test its qualities before the launch of June 2nd.

If you are interested in the entire Showcase, lasting about half an hour, you can watch it here; Below we report all the news announced.

Welcome to the World Tour

• A new World Tour location called Nayshall, a developing nation tucked away in a remote corner of Asia, was shown. Here you'll meet iconic Masters and experience the world of Street Fighterâ„¢ with your custom avatar as you navigate the streets of Metro City, Nayshall, and other locations around the world in this new single-player story mode.
• A number of RPG elements have also been introduced. You can consume items and food during battle or in restaurants to regain vitality, acquire buffs, or inflict debuffs. By leveling up your avatar, you'll earn skill points to spend in a skill tree to further customize your bespoke moveset.
• Become a student of your favorite Masters, including all 18 characters available at launch, by acquiring their style and learning their special moves! Increase your ties with Masters by offering them gifts and completing missions. You can unlock new cutscenes while making personal connections with these legendary fighters.

Show off your style with your custom Avatar

• Create your own unique character in World Tour and then head to Battle Hub to join battles against other players online! Use your avatar with Dhalsim's fighting style, Zagief's Screw Piledriver, Ken's Hadoken or any other combination of skills you've learned on the World Tour to show off your personal fighting style. Be careful because your opponent may have come up with an even wilder set of moves.

Innovation in Accessibility

• Street Fighter 6 strives to support greater accessibility with innovative sound design that tells you how far away you are from your opponent, the level of attacks, whether an attack is a cross-up, how much Drive Gauge stays and more.
• For both newcomers and veterans, there are tutorials, character guides, and enriched combo trials, which provide a solid foundation for each character.
• Our third Control Type, along with Classic and Modern, is Dynamic, where you can unleash a character's flashy moves by pressing the auto attack button and having the AI assist your attacks and combos.

Classic Fighting Experiences with a little extra spice

• Arcade mode is a single-player mode where you'll take on the computer and learn more about each fighter's story. Complete Arcade mode with each character to unlock and view beautiful illustrations in the Gallery. Your scores can also be uploaded to online leaderboards!
• Play against other players or against the computer by creating a team of up to 5 characters and customize the Match Format to your liking, such as Single Elimination, Doubles and Teams.
• Extreme Battle introduces sets of rules that you'll need to follow, along with fun features like Running Bulls or our special version of the hot potato. Play in Extreme Battle to learn more about the basics of the game or to wreak havoc at a party.
• Play online against other players by creating a custom room. The four virtual cabinets in the room can be set to One on One, Extreme Battle or Training. Custom rooms can now accommodate up to 16 players at a time and make Online Training and Match Spectating easier than ever!

Compete against the whole world

• Ranked matches are back, and we've taken steps to reduce the pressure of losing a match in certain grades. First, we've added a one-time protection feature for those who have reached Diamond grade and below. After that, the Rookies will no longer lose League Points in case of defeat to encourage online play. Finally, Iron-Gold and Master level players will not incur League relegation. Each character also has their own individual rank, so trying out new characters in ranked matches is more accessible than ever.

Wait – There's more!

• To celebrate the entire Street Fighter series, we're introducing the Battle Damage feature! During the fights, the characters will become more sweaty, develop cuts and bruises, along with other signs of heated battles that will appear on their faces and clothes. All this will only be available in some offline modes and can be turned off in Settings.
• We showed how players can create a club in the Battle Hub to play with friends and find like-minded players. Customize your Club emblem and create a uniform that only your Club members can wear off.

Get ready for Year 1 with four new characters!

• Rashid, who debuted in Street Fighterâ„¢ V, returns in summer 2023. The enigmatic A.K.I. joins the roster in fall 2023. Ed, the young commander of Street Fighter V, also returns to the attack in early winter 2024. And finally, the legend himself, the beast, the transcendent Akuma will be unleashed in Street Fighter 6 in the spring of 2024! All four of these characters will be included as Masters on the World Tour after their release and are also included in the Deluxe and Ultimate editions of Street Fighter 6.
