Street Fighter V Might Not Come Out Until 2018

Street Fighter V might not come out until nearly a decade after Street Fighter IV came out in 2009.

Capcom producer Tomoaki Ayano said the following in an interview with VG247:

Game development is a long and arduous process. If you look at the history of the series, it took six years to go from Street Fighter II to Street Fighter III, and nine years to go from Street Fighter III to Street Fighter IV. Purely based on that it would probably take us until the year 2018 before Street Fighter V comes out. So I hope everyone will play Ultra Street Fighter IV for a long time.

He has a point as “numbered” Street Fighter video games always take a long time to come out. The best thing Capcom should do for fans until Street Fighter V comes out is release other games in the meantime. The Street Fighter Alpha series proved popular back in the ’90s. It’s better than repackaging Street Fighter IV all of the time…

Do you think Capcom is willing to truly hold off Street Fighter V until 2018?
