Street Fighter 5 has been in development for so long, but producer Yoshinori Ono is confident that it will be worth the wait for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
"We've been working on Street Fighter 4 for the past seven years now. There’s been a lot of rebalancing and so on, but the game is still going strong, even today." he said. "All this means that, with Street Fighter 5, we have a fantastic opportunity to create something with a larger scope, a game that encompasses all that Street Fighter has become in the last few years, but which also expands on that to become something it has never been before as well."
"So now we want to create something that nobody is expecting," he added. "It’s going to be a title that caters to fans, of course, but one that also invites completely new players onto the scene. Street Fighter 4 was about reviving a passion. Street Fighter 5 is about growing that passion."
