Capcom casually announce Street Fighter V will launch Spring 2016
Update: Capcom has clarified that this was just a tentative release window and was not an official annoncement.
Capcom have let slip the anticipated release date for their next Street Fighter sequel, Street Fighter V. The news comes in a PAX East merchandise advertisement, which casually mentions the the release window for both PC and PS4; both versions featuring cross-play functionality.
“Everyone is fired up for Street Fighter V,” says the Capcom website. “coming to PS4 and PC next Spring.”
Street Fighter V was unofficially announced no less than three months ago, after Capcom mistakenly uploaded a trailer for the game early.
A couple of days after the incident, Capcom decided to get on with formally confirming the game’s existence, with a demo of the a game in action at last year’s PlayStation Experience. Importantly, the series will continue to be available for PC, with an interesting relationship with the PS4 version being forged with the introduction of cross-play functionality - allowing players from both platforms to fight against each other.

With the reveal of the intended launch window, we can expect the fighting game to be available sometime in early 2016.
Anyone know how butt-hurt the Xbox only people are? are they even mad?
to be fair no matter what happens on console a large group of people are pissed off.
.
it's like when titanfall came out they claimed it was an xbox exclusive, when anyone said it was on PC as well so it wasn't really an exclusive there was a massive shit storm of people saying PC doesn't count anyway.
.
the simple thing to do is just stay out of the console wars, the biggest problem I have with this now tho is do I get it for PC or the PS4 as either way I will be using a DS4 pad.
