Street Fighter 6, the highly anticipated video game, is set to launch in a little over a month. However, gamers who want to get a taste of the game before it officially hits the market can now do so through the demo available on PlayStation 4 and 5, while the demo for Xbox Series X/S and PC will arrive on April 26th.
Single Player World Tour Mode: A Preview of Things to Come
In the demo, players will have the opportunity to try a portion of the single player World Tour mode and create an avatar that can be transferred to the game after its release.
"In the World Tour mode, players will be able to experience some RPG elements, including points and a skill tree," said Capcom in a press release. Moreover, players will be able to use their World Tour avatar in online Avatar Battles mode.
Introducing Four New Characters and Exciting Features
Capcom has revealed that four new characters will be added to the game in its first year. Rashid, from Street Fighter V, will be arriving in the summer of 2023, followed by A.K.I in the fall, Ed in early 2024, and Akuma in the spring.
The company has also promised new accessibility features, such as a control scheme that will automatically perform an attack after pressing a button. Furthermore, the new Battle Damage feature will allow characters to show "wear and tear" during combat, although this will only be available in certain offline modes.
