So far, all that'south been revealed is a new logo especially for the 35th Anniversary, forth with some vague hints at new developments and initiatives relating to the anniversary.

The official Tweets revealing the logo don't give much away, but in a Q&A with Japanese site 4Gamer.net posted at the end of final twelvemonth, Street Fighter serial managing director Takayuki Nakayama mentioned "various initiatives" relating to the 35th Anniversary, and promised that Capcom would practice its best with regard to those initiatives.

Well, it would be a great yr to announce, maybe even release, a Street Fighter VI, and that would surely exist at the very elevation of any Street Fighter fan's wishlist. It might be a bit soon for that though. There were eight years between Street Fighter Iv and Street Fighter V, and a whopping 11 years between Street Fighter 3 and Street Fighter IV. It's just been six years since Street Fighter V.

Game franchise anniversaries are more often marked by remasters and compilations, so we wouldn't exist at all surprised to see some kind of Street Fighter: 35th Anniversary Edition release, presumably consisting of one or more classic Street Fighter titles in some kind of remastered form. The get-go 4 games in the main series, for example, in one package, would do very nicely indeed.
